"However, the European Court of Justice found it unfair, as the second flight is part of an entire journey starting in the EU. Therefor the ECOJ ruled that flights in one booking should be considered one journey and therefor the Regulation applies for both flights."

It is my understanding that the journey purchased from AF is POA-TXL, and therefore EU 261 is applicable to that sector.

Second part of that AMS-DXB-SIN journey, namely DXB-SIN. The ruling says you have an AMS-SIN flight and that's what matters (also if AMS-DXB is delayed, but you had a long connection and still made DXB-SIN on time... no comp).

Your case would be the SIN-AMS flight which does not fall under EC261 protection as per the example cited.

In your case you have a flight partially operated by a community carrier (AF), so if the AF flight from Rio was delayed, that would be under the regulation. G3 flight, not.

Not to mention whether the flight actually was not noted as Y only. If you try to book a J connection to a domestic flight in France, for example, you get a following message for some of the service notes:

Comfort and privacy on board

Service not available for this flight AF7534
