SQ 4271 (SQ4271) is sold by Singapore Airlines. On a codeshare another airline may operate the flight, and the operating airline determines which rules apply.
Neither EU261 nor UK261 usually applies to flights from Cook Islands to New Zealand. If the flight was part of a booking that started in the EU or the UK, the rules may still apply.
Does EU261 apply to Singapore Airlines flight SQ 4271?
Usually not, unless SQ4271 was part of a booking that started in the EU or the UK.
Who operates Singapore Airlines flight SQ 4271?
In our data, Singapore Airlines is the airline selling SQ4271. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was SQ 4271 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If SQ4271 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 (usually none).
