  • Arrival airport: Singapore Changi International Airport (SIN)
  • Flight distance: 10 514 km (~13h09)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

This fixed compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.

The take-off schedule isn't the legal benchmark. Solely the {arrival time at Singapore|time the doors open at Singapore Changi International Airport} determines your {eligibility|right to 600€}.

The 600€ compensation applies individually. If you travelled as a family: each person is entitled to {the same amount|600€}. At the maximum tier, a family of 4 can claim a very significant total.
