  • Scoot Airlines was one of the strangest flying experiences I have ever had!
    Have you ever heard of Scoot Airlines? Well they are a budget airline owned by Singapore Airlines and they are not too dissimilar to Europe's Ryan Air. In this journey I opted to fly in their business class offering or as they call it Scoot plus and I was very surprised by my experience! So are scoot airlines good? Well you will have to watch the entire Scoot airlines review to find out!

    That beer dispenser was designed to fill the cups with less foam and to help maximize the number of cups of beer out of a keg.

    The bottoms up beer dispenser was developed to speed up lines at games where they typically get slowed down by the head of beer settling.

    I’d love a video on how u became a photographer for f1 and how their system works . Are there licenses for a fixed amount - is their a wait list or apprentice system- is the pay fixed - do u work as a freelancer or for f1 or fia? What benefits are there ? How many are there? Do u own ur photos or does f1? Is travel and accomodation covered and per diems? Etc etc would love to learn about it

    I had really good experiences with flying round trip Vanilla Air from Taiwan to Japan! Highly recommend them. Also if you're in Japan the JR pass is amazing, its a flat rate fee only for foreigners to ride their bullet trains!

    Hard Rock hotel... ouch. Stay on the mainland next time, maybe Warehouse Hotel, Mandrin or Ritz. All have pools, all better. Capella best on Sentosa but tbh much more expensive, rather negates Scoot. Love the content

    I flew Scoot Melbourne to Singapore return in economy. I booked it because it was cheap and it offered a daytime flight to Singapore (which I prefer as I can't sleep sitting up right). I was happy with what I got - a clean plane, edible food, and absolutely lovely service from the Scooties. I'd happily fly Scoot again.

    I flew Scoot from Tokyo to S'pore via Taipei. Very cheap in tourist class, very pleasant (despite strong crosswinds coming into Taipei) and great staff (couple of stunners, too). Hoping to try again.

    I think I flew Scoot from Tokyo to Taipei in economy plus or something. The upgrade was like USD 15. I don't recall the flight, it was years ago, but I don't have any bad feelings about it so there must not have been any issues.

    Masks has always been a thing in Japan, Korea and Singapore well before COVID. Worn by people with the flu to minimise spread in public such as trains etc. It’s very thoughtful and I wish more Western countries would do the same even post-COVID most people in the West have reverted back to pre-COVID days of not wearing it when sick and spreading it in public.

    That economy section behind scoot plus is my personal preference. Extra legroom seat, adjustable headrest, in a private mini-cabin, with fantastic engine views too. It’s called scoot in silence and for me, it’s slightly better value than scoot plus.

    Honestly, I used to fly scoot plus often and it´s a really good deal, someitmes you find the price of the eco seat for the same as the scoot plus, it´s spaicous, nothing extraordinary but it´s cheap and you´ll get to your destination...

      Yeah, its just part of daily life there. Partly because of etiquette (if you have a cold), partly because of old habits from the rapid industralization of the 20th century, and partly because it just became a part of fashion

      Another part is air pollution. I was in South Korea in 2022 and pollution levels are part of the weather forecast. In Gangnam there are actually screens on lampposts showing the current pollution level.

    Scoot Plus used to be called Scootbiz but it isn't a business class. They were probably shamed into changing the name by Air AsiaX's Premium Flatbed which is like business class but isn't called business class.
