What you're owed

Leaving Heathrow

£520each under UK law

Leaving Singapore

£520each under UK law

Singapore is outside the UK and EU, so coming back this only applies if a UK or EU airline operated the flight.

Heathrow to Singapore is 10,883 km, which fixes the figure: £520 each leaving Heathrow, and the same £520 each coming back if a UK or EU airline operated the flight. It is per person, so four of you is £2,080.

Better or worse than the route itself?

Everyone flying Heathrow to Singapore hits the same airspace and the same two airports, so the honest question is not whether the route is busy, it is whether this airline handles it better or worse than the others on it.
