Unknown

When we landed in Singapore, a Singapore airlines representative was there and he confirmed that because of an unknown technical error, the bag had not been loaded in Singapore because the system considered I had not been checked in, even though I obviously had and I boarded the plane with the boarding pass issued when teh luggage tags were issued. He furthermore offered to submit the claim for us so that we would not make the queue and said we would receive the PIR and it would all be solved and the bag would be placed on the next flight that was on Sunday. He did not. And there was no Singapore airlines flight landing on Sunday. He gave us his Singapore airlines business card, and then proceed to ignore all our calls and emails for 2 days which is why on the 6th, we went back to the airport again to make the claim and why the claim is 2 days after the flight arrived.

Claim escalated to airline

Flight details: Β· Airline: Singapore Airlines Β· Flight number: SQ818 Β· Route: Singapore (SIN) β†’ Chongqing (CKG) Β· Date of flight: 28 February 2026 (arrived 1 March 2026, 1:00 AM local time) What happened: Β· My checked baggage did not arrive with me. Β· On 1 March at 4:02 PM (Chongqing time), an airline agent confirmed via WeChat that my baggage would be delivered by 2:00–3:00 AM on 2 March. I relied on this promise. Β· At 11:56 PM that same night, the agent told me delivery was not happening – after all shops had closed. Β· The agent then asked me to take a taxi to the airport at midnight to retrieve my own baggage. I refused because I was very tired. Β· I slept in my dirty clothes for two nights. I could not change my underwear or pajamas. Β· I deliberately bought as little as possible (only one shirt and one comfortable shoes. no pants, no jacket) to minimise the airline's costs. Β· My baggage finally arrived on 2 March, late morning – approximately 1.5 days late. Β· The stress and sleep deprivation caused me to become sick. My trip was ruined. What the airline offered: Β· Interim payment of CNY 400 (arrived 20 March, useless as it was weeks late). Β· Final settlement offer of CNY 900 (total CNY 1,300 / AUD 269.69). I rejected this as it does not cover my expenses or compensate for distress. What I am seeking: Β· Total compensation of AUD 1,000 (expenses + distress). Thank you.

Claim escalated to airline

I arrived at the airport with plenty of time, even before the check in counter was open. I had a valid passport and visa permits, didn't carry any forbidden items and my luggage was not overweight. Upon check in, they told me they couldn't find me on the passenger list even though I had a valid ticket issued by the airline. After a couple of hours, the airline informed the ground staff that my booking had been "unconfirmed" two days prior (I did not initiate this and as a matter of fact I had managed to successfully select a vegan meal for the flights). They also told me they couldn't do anything because my booking was made by an agent (even though they are the airline...?!). They didn't offer me an alternative flight, any solution, explanation or even asked if I needed additional accommodation or visa support while being stranded there. This happened on Sunday 22 March, there has been no resolution between them and the agent up to today 25 March and I eventually had to book another flight in order to get to my destination on time for a funeral on 27 March.

Dear Sirs, I am writing regarding my reservation at the guesthouse D’Muncuk Huts in Nusa Lembongan for three nights last 27-28 february and 1sr March (27 february first night lost for delayed flight) Due to a delay of Milan–Singapore Flight SQ938 on 26th february, reschedulated on flight SW 944 on 27th february (landing in Denpasar at 7 pm instead of 11:50 am) i was unable to reach the island as planned (last boat from Sanur to Nusa left at 5 pm) and i was forced to book a new hotel in Kuta for the night 27th february.

Duty Free goods unfairly confiscated, not in line with Terms and Conditions.

I bought duty free alcohol in Malta and brought it on board on my Malta-Istanbul flight TK1372 on 03 Aug. I also brought it on board my Istanbul - Singapore connecting flight TK54 on 04 Aug. At Singapore Airport I went through security to board my connecting flight SQ0221 on 04 Aug to Sydney. Here my duty free alcohol was taken from me. I was approached by your security officer Wong Chee Meng. His staff number is 88023919. He showed me Terms and Conditions for travelers departing Sydney or travelling through Sydney on Singapore Airways, which state that >100ml liquids cannot be taken on board. The Terms and Conditions he showed me should not have applied to me, since I was travelling to Sydney and staying there, not travelling through or departing from Sydney. Furthermore, the Duty Free alcohol was sealed in a plastic duty free bag and purchased in another airport.

Misrepresentation of flight flexibility and use.

13th June 2025 I bought four return flights from London to Bali via Singapore (Economy Flexi to Bali, cost Β£5,782 attached). 24th June 2025 I called Singapore Airlines to discuss stopping over in Singapore. Singapore Airlines stated that I had to change the entire flight from London to Bali at a cost of cΒ£1,200. I said no and then asked if I could simply use the first leg to Singapore and fly independently to Bali a few days later. I was told that this was not possible as the flight from Singapore to Bali would be treated as a 'no show' and that the return flights would all be cancelled. I contacted customer services many times and tried to use the airline website chat function to resolve the issue. The responses were circular and wasted hours of time. I therefore rearranged our travel, accommodation and transfers on the basis of no Singapore stop over at significant cost. On Friday, 11th July 2025 (the day before flying) Singapore Airlines called me to explain that they had misrepresented the position on the Singapore to Bali flight and that I should have been able to and still could stop in Singapore. This offer came too late after incurring significant non-refundable cost. As a result, I and my family missed out on several days staying with friends next to the Botanical Gardens in a luxury, staffed apartment at no cost. 30th July 2025 (3 days before returning) Singapore Airlines wrote the following:- " We regret that the situation impacted your ability to visit Singapore and led to additional expenses." We acknowledge our oversight and are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness. As a gesture of apology, we would like to credit 2,000 KrisFlyer miles per passenger in recognition of the inconvenience caused, and we sincerely hope this will enhance your overall experience with us. We recognize that we cannot quantify the negative experience you have gone through and are committed to providing you with exceptional service in the future. Please know that this decision does not, in any way, reflect a lack of appreciation for your business. Should you still plan to have a stopover in Singapore on your return flight instead, you may simply reply to this email with your preferred date and time so we can explore options and check its corresponding fare differences and change fees." Again, this offer of a stop over came too late to change arrangements with a hard date to be back in the UK three days later. This point has been made and proper compensation has been requested a number of times. In addition, I have repeatedly requested the recordings of the relevant telephone calls that confirm the misrepresentation and Singapore Airlines have persistently failed to provide them. My last email of 18th August has received no response. A number of the emails and email chains are attached.

Family seating and delays, Hong Kong

Subject: Family Seating Issue Following Flight Disruption Dear Singapore Airlines Customer Service, I’m writing to express disappointment following our recent travel experience with Singapore Airlines, which became unnecessarily stressful due to a series of disruptions and the handling of seating for our family. Our original flight from Hong Kong was scheduled for 20th July, but was cancelled due to Typhoon-related disruptions. We were then rebooked for 24th July, and finally moved to 21st July, with little clarity around why the changes were made or how they prioritized passenger needs. At check-in on the 21st, we specifically requested to be seated together as a family and were reassured by your staff that this would be arranged. However, not only did the first leg of our journey suffer a three-hour delay, but while onboard, we discovered that we had been separated for the second leg. Despite further inquiries upon arrival in Singapore, crew members informed us that no changes could be made. The seating assignments were especially unsuitable for a family with young children: two seats buried in the centre of the middle row, and two others near the window. Our children were initially seated apart from us, which is unacceptable given their age. We had to rearrange among ourselves and rely on the kindness of a fellow passenger to move so that we could properly care for our son throughout the flight. While your crew was polite and empathetic, they were unable to offer practical solutions. We were also not told in advance that the aircraft was full or that only scattered seats remainedβ€”information that would have helped us make better decisions or adjust expectations. This experience caused significant emotional distress for our children, particularly our son, who was visibly upset during the journey. The situation was only eased by the helpfulness of fellow passengers and your cabin crew, though the underlying issue should never have arisen. As KrisFlyer members traveling with young children, we expected more thoughtful consideration and clear communication. The lack of transparency and preparation made what should have been a routine adjustment unnecessarily difficult and uncomfortable. I strongly encourage Singapore Airlines to revisit its approach to disrupted family bookings and to improve proactive communicationβ€”especially when reassigning seats to passengers traveling with children. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your response. Warm regards, Alastair Ward KrisFlyer Number: KF 8183375866

flight due to the early departure

Hi. I bought two tickets from Singapore Airlines for my wife, Suzana Aleem, and my son, Areeb Rahman. The Booking Reference number is 5H64LJ, and the Ticket number is 618-2452189307. When they arrived at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka, Bangladesh, for the return flight from Dhaka to Sydney on Monday, 6th January 2025, they found out that flight SQ449 from Dhaka to Sydney left 2 hours early, and the flight left on Sunday, 5th of January 2025, at 23:50. They are hopeless at the Dhaka airport and they don't know what to do. The Singapore Airlines check-in counter was closed. My son, Areeb Rahman, needs to come to Sydney for university admission. The next morning, I called the Singapore Airlines Sydney office and they told me to pay another $4868 AUD for a return flight. However, I don't have that money and I managed to buy two tickets from Cathay Pacific for $3095.20 AUD. I asked Singapore Airlines to pay back my money and they refused to pay me back. I don't know how I can get my money back. Are you able to help me get my money back? I will attach all my evidence to you. I hope I will get my money back. I am facing very financial hardship right now. My wife is in hospital, and I need my money urgently. Please help us for my family. Thank you so much for your support. Kind regards, Mir Nur Ur Rahman Please find all the tickets, paid invoices and other documents attached for your reference. Thank you so much and much appreciated your help and support.

Denied a toddler belt (just in case)

First of all this flight was delayed by an hour. We were travelling with our 3 year old daughter. By the landing time she was very cranky and sleepy and not wanting to sit by herself. We asked the hostess to give us a toddler belt so I could keep her on lap for safety should she not sit by herself. Ms. Ginn Ng came and said this is my flight she is too big she has to sit by herself. In the best interest of all passengers (to give some context she is small less than 12 kgs), as we knew at this state she wont sit alone and will cry until landing and will not wear the belt. Ms. Ng said why she cant sit alone and I said this is how kids are then she says then tell her to sit to which I said she cant tell me what to tell and how to raise my kid. Anyone who has a toddler would know this or given the right training would know this. Also we asked for it only because 7 days back when we flew from Male to Singapore same situation, at landing the hostess came and gave a baby/toddler belt said in case she wont sit and I had put the belt on her and she sat with me at landing on that flight. There was another host Mr. Lipin who was standing beside my husband seat, I asked my husband to get their names and he took the phone to take the names . Mr. Lipin snatched the phone and said dont take my photo very loudly (whole flight would heard him) and created a big scene. First he cannot touch a passenger and snatch a phone / secondly the hostess cannot talk to a passenger like this, very rude. This was the first time an Sq crew had the worst attitude. Also should my toddler didn't sit, wouldn't it have been wise to give a belt which we were refused entirely? When we came out of flight the attendants were trying to be extremely nice which we dint buy into, Mr. Lipin was no where to be found.

At changi airport i had asked for assistance i was taken to

the special assistance lounge, my husband was with me, we were met by a young man at the desk who asked to see our passports and boarding passes which i showed him, he said he needed to keep one of the boarding passes but would get it back as we left for the flight gate. we arrived about 6.45pm our flight was due to depart at 11.55pm. The young man came to see us SEVEN times in all to recheck passports and look at the boarding pass i had which was mine with the name Jeanne Thomson Paterson Callaghan, he said he did not have my husbands boarding pass (I think he mislaid it) so i told him i had handed him the pass when we came in, he said he only had two passes with the name callaghan on them, one was for Jeanne Callaghan and it had the same seat number as the one on my boarding pass and the other pass also said Jeanne Callaghan with a different seat number on it!! I explained again that i had my boarding pass which had the same name as my passport, he went away mumbling, at 11.05pm he was still trying to sort things out, my husband and i were very stressed at this point, we both have high blood pressure and ny husband has prostate cancer and did not need all this stress, i was crying at this point, the young man then said i will print out a new boarding pass for your husband and he went away and came back with no new pass and checked the desk again, i told him it was now 11.25pm and our flight was due to depart at 11.55pm, he then said follow me, i will get a new boarding pass, i said i cannot walk far i have a disability, he gave a huge sigh (as if i was a problem) and said ok i will get a wheelchair, we went to a desk where he tried to tell them that Perth airport had made a mistake with the boarding pass, i explained that when the passes were handed to him one was Mr Patrick Callaghan (my husband) and the other was Mrs Jeanne Thomson Paterson Callaghan (myself) and that Perth airport certainly did not make a mistake it was his mistake!! The desk printed a new pass for my husband and the man took us to the gate we boarded the plane at 11.50pm 5mins before take off and my husband and i very in a very distessed state. I have never had this before at any airport and we travel frequently. I am still very angry about the way this was handled because our flights and cabin crew were amazing. I felt the need to let you know what had happened in case it happens to some other traveller.

Technical problems

I was going from Oslo to Brisbane for my studies. I was supposed to have layovers in both London and Singapore. On the flight from London to Singapore, we sat waiting inside the plane for more than two hours, before they got everybody out, and after one additional hour waiting at the gate, we were then told that the flight was cancelled due to technical issues. Since Heathrow is closing during night time, we were told to leave the premises, and come back the next day. Due to the Wimbeldon cup in London, there was not a single hotelroom avaliable in the city, but the Airline found a hotel for some of us on the other side of London (near Gatwick). I then had to take a taxi in the middle of the night for about 1.5 hours, which I later got refunded from the Airline. However, when we came to the hotel, about 4:30 in the morning, which was supposed to have room for us, they no longer had any availability and I had to sit in the hotel restaurant until 6 in the morning. I did not get any sleep, and figured out I had to get to Heatrow as fast as possible to get new tickets to get my way to Brisbane as soon as possible, as I had manditory days to attend for my exchange semester. When I got to Heathrow, as one of the first customers that day, I was offered a ticket but it was for the next day again, which was a big problem for me and my studies, and since there was no place to sleep again for the night. I then discussed back and forth with the airline, and begged them to be put on a plane the same day. I ended up traveling for 63 Hours (Oslo-London-Singapore-Sydney-Brisbane), instead of the already long, 30-hour original travel. I was over 30 hours delayed, and was supposed to be more, and did not recieve anything of a voucher or compensation from the airline. Hopefully, you can help me :)

An email was sent with the airline adjusting the arrival time by 5 minutes. Failure to accept would mean the booking was no longer confirmed. Given there is no material change to the departure time or date, this looks highly unprofessional/suspicious

Airport singapore. More then 3 hours delay on flight sq324

We were on the plane when we encountered a technical glitch. This meant the plane had to go back and we had to leave the plane. a new plane was arranged for us. However, we were delayed by more than 3 hours for this. It seems logical to me that there should be compensation for this. 3 hours is disproportionate.

My luggage didn't arrive at Denpasar airport.

My luggage didn't arrive at Bali in the 21st June, I reported the missing luggage rack guy away and was given a reference number. Today is the 20 august and so far there has been no settlement of my claim for missing luggage. The airline hasn't been able to provide me with admission of lost luggage so my insurance company cannot settle the claim. There has been no updates when I have asked for it. All I get from the Denpasar office is that they are looking for it still. It has been 2 months and I have not got any answers.

Compensation Required for Baggage Loss on Flight SQ968

Dear Singapore Airlines Customer Service, I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration regarding the loss of my baggage on my recent flight with Singapore Airlines. My flight details are as follows: Flight Number: SQ968 Date of Travel: 30 July, 2024 Destination: Jakarta Upon arriving in Jakarta at midnight, I was informed that my baggage had been delayed. Although I received my baggage the following afternoon, this caused me significant inconvenience and stress, especially as I am currently recovering from surgery and had numerous important items in my baggage. The delay meant I had to purchase essential items in the morning, which was not only a hassle but also an unexpected expense. Given the circumstances, I kindly request appropriate compensation for the costs incurred due to this unfortunate incident. I would appreciate it if you could provide an update on the compensation process. I have always chosen Singapore Airlines for its excellent service and reliability. However, this experience has been quite disheartening. I hope that you will address this issue promptly and ensure that necessary actions are taken to compensate for the inconvenience and additional expenses incurred. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.. Sincerely, Madhulita Patnaik

change of passenger

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with a recent experience I had with Singapore Airlines regarding the inability to change the name of a passenger on a booking in advance. On [Date of Booking], I booked a flight with your airline under the booking reference number [Booking Reference Number]. Due to an unforeseen circumstance, I needed to change the name of one of the passengers listed in the booking. When I contacted your customer service team to request this change, I was informed that it is not possible to change the name of a passenger once the booking has been made. I understand that airline policies are put in place for specific reasons; however, this restriction has caused significant inconvenience. In my case, the need for a name change was genuine and necessary due to [briefly explain the reason, e.g., legal name change, typographical error, or any other reason]. Given that the flight is scheduled for [Flight Date], I find it unreasonable and frustrating that there is no provision to make such a change in advance, even with proper documentation and within a reasonable timeframe before the flight. As a loyal customer who has always preferred Singapore Airlines for its reputed service and customer care, I am disappointed with this rigid policy. I believe that offering flexibility in changing passenger names, under verified and legitimate circumstances, would greatly enhance customer satisfaction and uphold the high standards that Singapore Airlines is known for. I kindly request that you review this policy and consider providing an option for customers to make necessary amendments to their bookings. This would not only improve the overall customer experience but also align with the customer-centric approach that Singapore Airlines prides itself on. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and hope for a favorable resolution.

Pre-booked hotel transfer and hotel in Monaco disrupted.

I was told by the ground staff in Frankfurt during the layover that SIA will compensate all cost cause by the disruption. Which is my Monaco hotel transfer and Hotel 1 day cost. Now SIA email is telling me no compensation will be made which is very shocking! Is this the way SIA handle things nowadays?? Even I have to pay my own transport to/from the hotel SIA arranged during the layover wait. More than 10hrs wait for the next flight SIA arranged. I have already lost the hotel transfer from Nice to Riviera Marriot hotel and 1 day of the hotel stay because of no show.

Last Updated:  

The last thing most passengers want to do after a flight is make a complaint, but sometimes it has to be done. Whether it’s to express disappointment with the service you’ve received or for inconvenient Singapore Airlines flight disruptions, a complaint can be worthwhile.

Here, we’ll discuss everything every passenger should know regarding Singapore Airlines complaints, complete with a summary of your rights, how to contact the company, common complaints, and how best to go about it.

What Types of Singapore Airlines Complaints Are Worth It?

When you need to get something off your chest, any Singapore Airlines complaint is worth it. That said, some complaints are more likely to result in compensation for your troubles than others. Consider these:

  • Delays: Passengers may be entitled to a maximum of £520 (€600) in flight delay compensation as long as their journey departs from an airport in the UK or EU. 
  • Cancellations: Flights cancelled by Singapore Airlines without sufficient notice can also trigger compensation similar to that for delayed flights.
  • Mishandled luggage: If Singapore Airlines mishandles a passenger’s bags, they can claim up to £1,000 (€1,300), which, like delays and cancellations, is flight route dependent.
  • Denied boarding: Let’s say a Singapore Airlines flight is overbooked, causing them to bump a ticketed passenger. In these cases, passengers may be entitled to a maximum of £520 (€600) in compensation.
  • The passenger experience: Letting the airline know when an in-flight or booking experience has been less than satisfactory may also prompt the airline to issue vouchers or discounts.

Making Singapore Airlines complaints - your rights as a passenger

Passenger Rights - the EU and UK

In the European Union and the UK, two regulations exist that mandate the necessary compensation to be issued by the airline. These are Regulation EU 261 and Regulation UK 261. 

Even though Singapore Airlines isn’t based in either area, these regulations will still apply as long as a flight leaves from an EU or UK airport. So, if this is the case, passengers can make Singapore Airlines complaints related to delays of 3 hours or more and flights cancelled without a minimum of 14 days' notice.

Flight distance is also a factor. For Singapore Airlines flight delays that depart from these regions that are delayed by 3 hours at least, passengers can complain to get the following:

Singapore Airlines Complaints - Our Recommendations

Make sure that you have all your ducks in a row and know what you’ll need to have handy:

  • Be prompt. Singapore Airlines after travel complaints are best made as soon as you return home. The details won’t be fuzzy, and you’re more likely to have the documentation you need.
  • Keep all your documents and info. Have your reservation number, flight details, boarding passes, photos, correspondence, and anything else the airline may need to validate your complaint. 
  • Specify your preferred contact method. Your email will likely be required, but a direct phone number is also a good idea if you wish to speak with someone.
  • State the expected resolution. Whether it’s to resolve a Singapore Airlines service issue or a flight disruption, let them know what you expect. It may be useful to reference your passenger rights and EU/UK 261.
