Who operates Singapore Airlines flight SQ 1969?
In our data, Singapore Airlines is the airline selling SQ1969. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was SQ 1969 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If SQ1969 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (£220 (UK261), or €250 if EU261 applies).
