Been flying Scoot a few times mostly Sydney - Singapore (round trip). So far so good. Like you said, not anyone into movies, wifi etc. Booked ScootPlus $1500 come with free selection, 30kg, priority boarding vs Singapore Air $2000 economy excluding fee for seat selection. No brainer. Scoot economy is even damn cheaper. Thus far, touch wood, have not encountered long delay.
Great to hear mate, yeah I agree, having all the perks of 30kg luggage etc beats SIngapore Air if you can live without the movies and wifi :-) May your luck continue flying Scoot!
Unless you get downgraded because plus is oversold, This happened to me last week. Of my $760 fare they 'compensated' me with $193 - as opposed to the $450 difference I paid over economy. I will never trust this thieving airline again.
Regarding Scoot economy flight booking: 1. can we carry some food items? 2. is bagpack (personal item bag) also included in the weight allowance? OR both the luggage/cabin trolley bag and bagpack/personal item bag considered in weight allowance? 3. It is my first flight. Are the bags weighed when we have to board the flight or early on so that after weighing we can eat something at the airport and, probably, buy some food items to take with us on the flight?
really considering taking Scoot from Manila to Sydney. I think it's not too bad. There would be 1 stop in Singapore though, but other tickets right now are insanely expensive. Thanks for the review.
I think it's worth it. Or at least fly cheap to Singapore and you can access more flights that are cheaper to Manila, such as Air Asia etc. Good luck and have a great time
Like you, i bring my own IFE old movies in my PAD (i know we will doze off after 1 hour watching, we will never finish watching a movie, so why bother with unpleasant surprises), Music i like on Phones, Noise cancelling earphones, blankets (for hygiene), sleep masks, pillows, .. For the food, i still use Scoot preorders but we will wait a few hours till we get to Changi food courts with so many good variety in one place. We consider long layovers are a plus for shopping, eating good food, relaxing in private lounges, taking a shower and peaceful sleeping after shopping as well as using Changi nice facilities before long flights. Changi has so many travel facilities so we can relax after hectic work schedules at home. I will travel your route in March to visit to my old home town. It is almost a perfect holiday compared with travelling long trips on Bangkok BTS to eat at Terminal21 Asok.
i'm flying singapore to japan this july on scoot. i didnt choose a meal on the outward flight because its a redeye flight. might sneak some snacks and definitely a bottle of water. hopefully nothing happens. i flew airasia to japan in 2019. transit in KL. all was fine until the arrival at Haneda, we reached there 1.5 hr later than expected. by the time one clears custom, so it was after midnight. (the plane still had to fly back to KL) SG-KL, it was tomyum fried rice with egg, too much lemongrass KL-HND, sweet-sour chicken meatballs on rice. too much garlic. on my trip back, i chose to transit at Bangkok. but since i was on happiness high at the end of my trip. i cant remember what i ate on the flights back to singapore. all i remembered AirAsia flight from bangkok to SG was extremely noisy, the frame made an ungodly noise when the wheels left the ground
@@VirtualOliverP there's a new LCC, Airjapan, subsidiary of Japan Air. they finally opened up booking for Sin-NRT. flights from end of april onwards. previously its only Incheon-Narita and suvarnabhumi(bangkok)-Narita. i just looked at their prices a full package (2x checked in luggage, meals and seat selection). its cheaper than Scoot economy with 1x check-in and a meal on one flight. i'm guessing they are discounting a lot to gain market interest. the have travel insurance but they are still reviewing for singapore, so no info yet. damn the buyer's remorse is kicking in. and i look at their in-flight menu for bangkok/incheon menu.. what reasonable prices for drinks.
Yes that's true, something worth considering if you are making connecting flights with short stopovers. Appreciate you stopping by and checking out my review
I will NVR fly any LCC for flights above 2 hrs. Period!I don't dare what ppl say it ain't enough of savings because my comfort and life means alot to me. Scoot food is the worst I have ever seen in any LCC... even a dog won't eat it! When I am in scoot for flights less than 2 hrs I only get their Coco water and that's it! LCC ain't my thing. The savings and the timings of the flights ain't worth it and at times when you do your homework right you pay just a tad more for full service.
Mate, You need visa to enter Singapore for 10 hours just look around Singapore ? what that cost you in Australian passport ? ( i have another ticket to HCMC , it will be a transit time )
As an Australian citizen I went on a tourist visa for free, I don't know other countries. I heard that they used to have a quick day Visa for people who had long transits but maybe that was before the pandemic
did you find out Regarding Scoot economy flight booking: 1. can we carry some food items? 2. is bagpack (personal item bag) also included in the weight allowance? OR both the luggage/cabin trolley bag and bagpack/personal item bag considered in weight allowance? 3. It is my first flight.

@@VirtualOliverPI thought bringing your own food is not allowed. What type of snacks can I bring? How about water? Can I bring my own bottle of water?
@@alembess9129 I would recommend being distreet with bringing a bottle of water on board. Maybe just put it in your bag, they never checked my bag so I was fine bringing two 600ml water bottles. As for nacks, I bought gummi lollies, dried fruits and chips which I brought out only when the plane was in the air. So yeah, be distreet about it and you should be fine
Scoot lost my Armani coat, which was in the checked-in luggage, and they refused to compensate for the loss. I followed all the steps and provided all the supporting documents, but the airline refused to compensate for the lost item without explaining why. What is even worse is that Scoot keeps wasting your time by repeating "you should do this and you should do that" again and again. For more than a month, I have been trying to talk to the department which is in charge of this matter, but no one was available. In summary, AVOID SCOOT AT ALL COST if you value your time and money.
Worst airline for Taipei to Singapore. EVA airline tortures scoot plus clients. Don’t give them boarding pass to access, web check in is a scam, never book this flight again
Don't fly Scootplus. If you want to be treated like cattle and the price is right then just go economy. I was downgraded from plus to economy last week (first time flying with Scoot). Only $193 of a $450 fare difference between the two fare prices. So ripped off $257 and had the joy of being crammed into economy. Then they left 45 minutes late. Downgraded because the Scootplus fare was oversold - WTF? 191cm tall and I would never fly this crappy thieving airline again.
I run a business and we get it wrong we refund the full price and add something as compensation and to keep custom. Scoots approach is to only give back a partial refund for their mistake. Not good business, totally unfair and unscrupulous. I should not have to argue to be refunded for what I did not receive.@@VirtualOliverP
i wonder if its possible for them to oversell Economy as well. i booked a trip to japan in july this year. i'm 171cm tall and fit into Airasia seat with less than 2 inches space from my knee to the seat in front. i would have booked zipair if only i was bringing a carry-on only. zipair doesnt have travel insurance coverage for non japan residents. and we know how cheap travel insurance plan/company works (the airline has to compensate them before compensating the passenger) well, i get what i paid for/willing to spend.

Great video! My sister is flying Athens to Melbourne via Singapore with scoot next month
Great video! I’ll be flying this route in February next year :)
Oh fantastic! I hope you have a plesant flight and it goes on time! Thank you for watching my vid :-)
Thanks, I’ll be taking that flight in November. Very helpful
Thanks for watching the vid, I'm glad you found it helpful and I wish you a safe flight to Singapore in a few months

Thank you.
Your review was very helpful.
I'm glad you found it useful Chris. Have a safe flight ✈️
Good review 👍. However the hour delay would mean you could potentially miss your connection if travelling to anywhere in Europe.
Yes that's true, something worth considering if you are making connecting flights with short stopovers. Appreciate you stopping by and checking out my review
Great video. What's your seat number btw?
Thanks Oliver. Can you remember which part of airport terminal was the check in row?
Hi Suzy, ahh I forgot but it was in the middle section...hope you'll be able to find it quickly
Awesome review
Thank you 😀 I'm glad it has been helping a lot of people, appreciate you stopping by my channel 😀
Hey! What type of plug was underneath your seat? Was it compatible with C type plug? Thanks
It's a USB type A (the older style) I'm afraid
Thanks for reminding about snacks
No problems! It's definitely needed for a long haul flight
Have a nice trip
Thank you! I had a pleasant flight

Yeah I can see where you're coming from, it is worth spending more to have that comfort and reliability
6:30 no way. How much was your ticket vs. SQ / QF? That’d be good info to share.
Mmmm I'll look into it and add it to my description. Stay tuned. Thank you for watching

what app were you using??
Do you mean the app on the plane? It's their Scoot app which you can access via QR code

@@KanyeKetchup Many thanks for your compliment. Hope you will enjoy your next world-best Scoot flight.
Hello
Hey hey!
The worse airline ever in the entire world,, they easily deleyed the flight, and their price is not worthy. Their deleyed is too long in Singapore.
Ah sorry you had a bad experience mate. Where did you fly to?

Whatsup❤

i would have booked zipair if only i was bringing a carry-on only.
zipair doesnt have travel insurance coverage for non japan residents.
and we know how cheap travel insurance plan/company works (the airline has to compensate them before compensating the passenger)
well, i get what i paid for/willing to spend.

Skinny people problems can't use a plane toilet because long queue 😂
Hehe that would be the case for most long haul flights though 😅
What a pathetic airline, cheap bus service
Fair enough mate 👌 you do get what you pay for but my first time with them was lucky 😉
I feel USB ports for phone charging should be mandatory in today's age. Every seat should provide this.
I know right! How crazy is it that they charge money for it 😞
@@VirtualOliverP Doesn't look like it's even available. Or do they give you a power bank? Doesn't make sense. SUCH a weird airliner. I would not fly them if tickets overseas were 500 bucks lolllllllllllllllll 😆
