Swiss International Air Lines flight Singapore → Zurich: guide on a refund

Were you affected by problems on your flight from Singapore to Zurich with Swiss International Air Lines? Hours of waiting, an unexpected cancellation or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to Directive CE 261, passengers suffering from disruptions on a 10 306 km route can demand a statutory compensation from {the carrier|Swiss International Air Lines}.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

This fixed compensation system was designed to deter airlines from altering schedules without valid grounds. Make sure you invoke this often-overlooked regulation.
