Thank you for sharing this video - it was detailed, helpful and one of the few videos I watched all the way through. My mother travelled with Scoot (SG-Amritsar) on biz-class as the cost difference was not a lot (considering it included seat selection, 1 meal and 1 bottle of water). My experience with Air Asia (SG-Malaysia) were not great because of the constant delays. Took SilkAir SG-Chiangmai (it was an awful experience from get go/I hear JetStar is better for flights from SG to Thailand so I may try them in future).
Hey Ezekiel, glad you found the video useful!
Curious to know what the business class experience on scoot was like.
I had similar, ups and downs with Air Asia, with a few flights being delayed; but the staff seemed a lot more courteous and friendly in some of the sectors. Also the seats themselves were a little more comfortable than on Scoot; hence my slight preference for it.
I've heard about JetStar, but I haven't been onboard yet, would love to get onboard a flight of theirs when I'm back in the Asia region!
Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks for sharing your experience on Scoot/Singapore Airlines. Flying to CBE from JFK, though this is the first time with Scoot. Last time we traveled the same route, it was SilkAir connecting CBE with Singapore. Best of luck with your CZcams channel. 👍🙂
Ah right on! Yes, Scoot was good. Can't say it was super memorable, but they delivered on all essentials for sure. Never been on SilkAir, but from what I understand, it was essentially Scoot before Scoot ha. Is the JFK to Singapore flight the super long direct flight?
Thanks for watching and commenting, safe travels! :)
@@nsuresh91 Thanks Nikhil. The flight from JFK is via Frankfurt (not the direct one), the return flight is direct flight from Singapore to JFK. SilkAir, if I am right is more of regional but full-service airline. 😃
@@BR-OU812 Ah yeah, I think you're right, more of what Indian Airlines used to be for Air India.
@@nsuresh91 Anyways nice to communicate with a CBE-ian :). I am from Gandhipuram :) and not on any social media. On CZcams for news and information like the one provided by your here and others :).
@@BR-OU812 Yeah, likewise! Glad to hear it helped you. I was visiting CBE for a few weeks. Awesome place, super laid back and calm (for Indian standards ha). Gandhipuram was awesome.
Great video, great info- thank you
( small suggestion - when you are filming behind someone, following them, on the ground or onboard, HOLD BACK a little and make space so that we can see the surrounds, not just the back, head, bags, legs, etc of another passenger up against your camera lens ....)
Right on, thanks for watching, and thanks for the feedback, this was literally my first video so it was a bit all over the place, the new ones are hopefully much better ;)
Super bro!!! Nice review👍
Glad you found it useful!
Thanks for watching! :)
We’ve flown Scoot numerous times. Not the most comfortable at 28” seat pitch, but our flights are mainly to Bangkok and Penang, so an hour or two is ok. We took long haul Scoot once (and will do so again in November) from Narita to Sing. Both times, we booked Scoot Business (or whatever they call it). Can’t take the cramped seat for 7 hours given I’m 6’2” tall. No IFE is a bummer, but an iPad will let me read and snooze the whole way.
Yeah for short flights they’re not bad, the longer ones I can definitely see getting very cramped!
Thanks for watching! :)
I was interested to learn about scoot. Thanks! Well done!
Glad to know the video helped!
Thanks for watching! :)
Nice informative video
Nice and detailed review. Their food is one of the most expensive among low cost carriers and doesn't look very good. AirAsia has relatively cheap food. I'll be flying on Scoot's A320 soon.
Glad you found the video useful! Interesting note about the cost of food- I’ll make sure to glance over that moving forward as well onboard LCCs!
Thanks for watching, and hope you have a safe trip! :)
I love Scoot and SQ with best sevice airlines.👍👍
Yeah! they're both good!
Thanks for watching! :)
I also have some experiences flying with Scoot. It's quite good and worth compare to the ticket price
Glad to hear you liked the experience with Scoot that you had.
Thanks for watching! :)
But the internet doesn’t even work especially flight tracker
@@Abedv4fggrrgdggfdfxvd Yes, you're right
@@Abedv4fggrrgdggfdfxvd Ahh sorry to hear it didn't work on the flight you took; I guess depends on the flight, on mine it did, albeit a bit laggy, but it worked for the most part!
Thanks for watching :)
We flew "business class" with Scoot from Singapore to Sydney. The plane looked really very very tired. Some seats looked like they have been there for 10 years. The plane a 787 was noisy and I don't know why. We flew a 787 from Melbourne to Ho Chi Min with Jetstar and it was a wonderful experience. Scoot was just terrible. My table would not fold open properly, the storage at the back of the seat in front of me was falling apart. The whole flight was a big let down. Nah no more Scoot for me.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience with them- I haven’t tried jetstar yet, would love to try them at some point as well!
Thanks for watching! :)
I took Scoot 787 to Korea from Singapore and T'Way budget airline of korea because I missed my flight coming back to Singapore. So, I went to book a last minute flight on T'Way that same day that was bound for Singapore
Scoot seats were in a 3-3-3 seating configuration I was alone travelling and sat next to a couple legroom was ok but seats were very cramped I couldn't even put my arm on the arm rest for fear of touching my neighbour because I got the window seat. T'Way was a Airbus A330 with free usb charging port, Scoot had a 3 pin plug underneath their seats but for SGD $9 so I declined. T'Way seating configuration was a 2-4-2 configuration seating and I took the window seats because I love watching takeoff and landing. Thank you for this video. Scoot even wanted to charge me $3 SGD for a cup of water because I drank up all my water inside my bottle
Oh wow, sorry to hear about your poor experience with scoot, yeah they’re definitely a very low cost carrier! I hope to check out T’Way someday!
Thanks for watching :)
Any idea what's the cost to pay for checkin bag between India and Bangkok?
At least I get to Thailand early thanks to scoot 😂
Actually, thinking about it, I was looking at the scoot schedule, and it was incredible how punctual/early they were compared to other low cost carriers!
I can't sit in the back next to the toilet. Did that once, and the smells were too much.
Yeah, i definitely prefer not sitting back by the lavatories as well for the same reason! On this flight, that was the only window seat available unfortunately, so had to go for it.
My fav spot is usually right behind the wing, maybe two or three rows behind. Best views of the wing and the scenery!
Thanks for watching! :)
Scoot’s service is not very good. We transited from Berlin to Singapore and returned to Taiwan. As a result, there were members of our group whose suitcases were damaged by Scoot. They ignored it.
Ahh, sorry to hear about your bad experience with them! I did feel the customer service wasn't amazing, they were professional in the way they deal with people, but they definitely seemed a bit more "cold" in terms of helping customers with requirements.
Thanks for watching! :)
Last month I flew Singapore Airlines from London to Davao (Philippines 🇵🇭), and I’d dare say YES Scoot is necessary-Because Scoot utilizes the Airbus a320.
From my trip, LHR-SIN was flown on the Airbus a380; and SIN-DVO via the Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 737-Max.
And this is the problem:
Boeing 737-Max
Singapore Airlines removed the “Max” on the name BUT if this 737 has the Chevron (those sawtooth things) on its engines, and that Max-wingtip, then that is the 737-Max.
My alternate for this trip could have been the Scoot-in fact I was booked for that flight but instead got bumped or transferred to the Singapore Airlines 737-Max.
And
If you look at the flightradar-type websites, on April 29 at 1620H SQ906 had a missed approach and had to do a lot of circling before attempting its 2nd landing.
I flew a week later with Cebu Pacific (Airbus a320) on 11th May and there were no problems whatsoever.
Interesting, how’s do you like the product on the SIA 737s? One of the reasons I’ll avoid emirates moving forward is because a lot of their eastern routes still use the 777, and although I love the 777, I really don’t like the hard product onboard the emirates 777. Does the SIA 737, onboard, still hold up to their other air crafts?
Thanks for watching! :)
I guess that's an Airlines thing, coz the flight is supposed to hold only that much luggage weight combined as required
Interesting, that makes sense, but in terms of more strict or lenient agents, I wonder if the airlines directs them on that or the airport.
Thanks for watching! :)
@Nikhil Suresh I'm almost sure it's an airport thing
@@iaexo yeah im definitely noticing a trend with certain airports being stricter and others not; but I've had times at the same airport where one agent was a lot more strict and the other not so much-- im guessing it just comes down to the specific person at the counter.
Thanks for watching! :)
thank you, now i know that i will pay more 100-150 usd for my flight and not to fly with company like this, liiks awful to spend 10+ hours on flight like this
ahh yeah, 10+ hours will get brutal. I think max with flights like these for me would be 3-4 hours. but definitely for longer, 4+ hour flights, its always worth it to travel with the major airlines!
Thanks for watching and glad you found it helpful! :)
Scoot is the lower cost airline that is owned by Singapore AIr. So, of course, Singapore AIr...rated always among the top carriers in the world...will be nicer BUT, more expensive too!
Scoot is very reliable compared airlines like Cebu Pacific, Air Asia, yada, yada who seem to cancel around 50% of their flights and making u miss connections and/or events.
Scoot also has a 7 star safety rating...the highest number awarded.
Interesting about the safety rating; they definitely did feel very professional and everything was proper, so I’m sure they’re on top of maintenance as well!
Hmm I haven’t flown with the other airlines you mentioned much except Air Asia, my experience with Air Asia was slightly better than Scoot, the cabin crew was slightly friendlier and the seats were a little more comfortable.
Thanks for watching! :)
@@nsuresh91 Just this past July and August, Air Asia cancelled my last three flights at the last minute. They offered few options to rebook and never on the day you expected to fly and make new connections.
Air Asia ticket counters in MNL and DVO were always complete madness. Lines taking hours...no exception for elderly, peeps in wheel chairs, etc.
When I did manage an Air Asia flight from MNL, we had to use umbrellas and walk about 1/4 mile out to board the jet while slogging through puddles in heavy rain. Then, climbing up the portable staircase was steep and slippery...in a word, hazardous. Once inside, the humidity and the aircraft's air con made it impossible to see your hand in front of your face...like dense fog. To make matters worse, there was a female child having a panic attack and yelling at the top of her lungs saying she wanted to get off. The cabin crew did not know what to do, even though everyone else was getting that way too. Meanwhile, the crew was doing safety instructions even though few could see them.
@@stuuuporman ahh, that's rough, sorry to hear your experience with them! I took 4 flights in September with them, there definitely were delays due to technical issues, but nothing as bad as what you described. My overall feel from them was they're a decent, cheap airlines. Good for shorter flights of under 4-5hrs.
naik pesawat ini brp ribu kak
I don't speak this language, but thanks for watching! :)
Scoot termasuk pesawat yang tiketnya murah dibanding Singapore Air
They lost my bag almost 1 year without any good intention to compensate. I curse them immidiate bankrupt
Oh wow. Sorry to hear about this!
Thanks for watching :)
thats a long f****ng alley without a Toilet or family seats with babies or toddlers, no wonder its cheap
Long and narrow as well. No babies on board is a fairly good thing though, avoids any crying babies conflicts.
Thanks for watching! :)
Scoot was a whole Lot better than air asia.
Interesting, you're not the first person to say this. My experience onboard Air Asia was fairly better compared to Scoot; having a (slightly) more comfortable seat, and more importantly, a friendlier staff onboard all 4 Air Asia flights I've taken; but there were definitely delays and technical issues that slowed down the process a lot.
Thanks for watching! :)
I flew Scoot Singapore - Melbourne. Never flying Scoot again.
Oh no! Sorry to hear about this experience! Yeah I definitely dont see them being a good option for more than 3 to max 5 hour flights.
Thanks for watching! :)
@@nsuresh91 Yeah, I flew it before seeing the video.
@@aussiemozzie107 Ah, well experience is always better than a CZcams video.
Now you know first hand about the airlines. :)
I would prefer Singapore AIr! Singapore Air to Phuket is better than Scoot!
Ah yes, SIA ia incredible, no comparison with Scoot!
Scoot is the lower cost airline that is owned by Singapore AIr. So, of course, Singapore AIr...rated always among the top carriers in the world...will be nicer BUT, more expensive too!
The airline⛔️🙅
Sorry to hear about your bad experience with them!
