"We will never Scoot again"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Singapore to Bangkok. We scoot regularly and had been since Scoot started its service. Scoot was very good initially but changed from being good to bad and now worse.  Over the past two years we had our flights rescheduled occasionally but recently all three of our bookings, Feb, Apr and May, flights have been rescheduled delayed by a few hours causing us a lot of inconvenience.  Their Call centre was not interested in assisting, the lady who attended me was very rude and loud, instead of trying to help and understand the frustration and inconvenience they have caused their customers, she arrogantly told me Scoot have every right in the fine print conditions to reschedule their flights and any request for change of flight would incurred cost.   Perhaps Scoot needs to remember there are other budget airlines and they are providing better services. The good reputation they painstakingly built is now being tarnished by the present appalling services.  We will never Scoot again.

"seats were wide and comfortable"

(Bulgaria)

Trip Verified | On February 11, 2018 we traveled with "Fly Scoot" from Singapore to Chennai. From Chennai we had transfer to Sharja. Before checked (check-in) our tickets we understand to it have imposible this transfer (in Chennai) for us. Тhe FlyScoot ground staff immediately helped us. They gave us all support both in airport in Singapoure and airport in Chennai. Without their help, we wouldn't have got home. The flight was on time, the service was at the top level - flight crew, food, WC-clean and hgih speed Wi-Fi. The seats were wide and comfortable. The plane was B787 Dreamliner - by my opinion the best plane on nowadays.

"Scoot no more!"

(Singapore)

Trip Verified | When choosing a budge airline, we definitely begin with some low expectation. With Scoot, you got to expect even lower, then lower it again on the Singapore to Zhengzhou route. At Singapore Changi Airport, Scoot Check-in is not automatic. They definitely make sure to make everyone pay for the extra kg on their hand luggage, not at the counter, but with separate crew/staff who buzzes around each and everyone of you to make you pay. So be careful, weigh your luggage and make sure it is below 10kg. The seats are close together, tight. Surprisingly, at Zhengzhou Xinzheng Airport, Scoot counter is very friendly and up-to-standard. This was not expected at all. The ground staff is professional and helpful. For budget travelers in the early morning or mid-night scene, it could say a lot about local hospitality. In the end, Scoot costs not less than other airlines. I will get back to China Southern, or Xiamen Airline. Scoot no more!

"Dirty and oily seats"

(Indonesia)

Trip Verified | Flew Singapore to Jakarta. 1) The way that Scoot is making money is ridiculous, after check in, there are staff who go around checking the weight of cabin luggage and purposely look for an extra kilogram and demand payment for it. Poor man behind me was forced to pay for his extra 1 kg! 2) Entry to aircraft - a passenger with a wheelchair was treated as a second class passenger as nobody was assisting. 3) Dirty and oily seats, magazines, all around you was just not hygienic.

"will never fly with them again"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Gold Coast to Bangkok via Singapore. Travel Insurance what a scam. I went online to book a return ticket to Thailand all went well past the flight from point of origin, then came the fun part, the web site opened a second link continuing with my booking, I paid for all and felt little unusual having to pay in 2 different segments one there in AUD and one back in Baht, so far all good. Then I read the fine print a few days in re my ticket, saying I'm only covered with my travel insurance while on flight to and fro, no holiday no time outside the airports, contacted the insurer being part of Scoot and the excuse was they insure the trip out but another insures the trip back. I said I want a refund they told me to contact scoot - now after 3 emails and no reply links so we cant continue the conversation - only after a number of days. Every time you submit an email again it takes up to 10 days. The frustrating thing is with such large companies there is no direct input to record your side of any story in hard copy or email. And no refund I needed to get new travel insurance. I will never fly with them again.

"service offered is shamefully poor"

(Singapore)

Trip Verified | I want to leave my feedback on the poor service we got from Scoot on our return flight, Amritsar - Singapore on 6 Feb. We experienced a delay of more than 3 hours. Our flight was supposed to leave Amritsar at 6h40am and left after 9h30. No explanation is given but the staff were very thorough in checking all the luggage with a couple of kgs above the limit so they could charge the overweight excess to the passengers. Scoot kept 200+ passengers waiting for more than 3 hours without proper explanation or apology. After a 5h30 long flight, we arrive at Changi Airport (Singapore) and are told to wait because the aircraft doesn't have a place to taxi. We wait 45 min inside the aircraft, again with no proper apology or any kind of proper compensation. On a full flight with plenty of families with small kids, they don't even have the courtesy to give out some water for the children. To top it off, we reach the belts area to collect our luggage and our flight is not even announced on any screen. The passengers have to go around and guess which belt is our luggage being dumped on. For a flight that costs 400SGD return, the service offered is shamefully poor. It shows lack of professionalism and respect for customers. It shows that the airline is more interested in making a profit on overweight charges than on the comfort and wellbeing of your passengers. Don't recommend.

Scoot customer review

(Indonesia)

Trip Verified | Singapore to Jakarta. This plane looks outside and feel very old inside. Overhead compartments in our row are being filled up by passengers sitting in the far back; that's 4 of us seated in 1 row with just 1 carry-on and yet no space in both side of our overhead compartments ! The staff requested we checked in our hand carry which inconvenient us since we put our important items in there. We have to take almost everything out and put them in a plastic bag so we can put them in the pouch in front of our seat while the carry-on bag was checked-in.

"No wifi, food is expensive"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Taipei to Tokyo. Scoot nickles and dimes you, constantly makes you painfully aware you chose economy. They charge you $4 for a bottle of water, Taipei does not have free water and an hour long security/out immigration before which you have to empty bottles. They will separate families in different rows. They won't let me use last two seats in aft of the plane saying there is a S$20 fee each for them. The checkin staff took 15 minutes reading every page of my canadian passport like a magazine, where people behind me got seats at other counters. The final verdict - flight is full, sorry for bad seats. No wifi, food is expensive, no customs forms for Tokyo, sorry. CEO says bad days of discount air travel are over, I think he meant "its going to be worse" They have deep pockets (owned by Singapore Airlines) but they are miserly, staff is polite and courteous but machine like, lack empathy - that's culture of Scoot, superficial.

"as expensive as any other airline"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Gold Coast to Jaipur via Singapore. I am writing this review on the bad experience I had while travelling with my kids and old aged parents. We checked in from Gold Coast and got our boarding passes for our next flight to Jaipur in Gold Coast itself. Upon entering our flight to Jaipur only them we realised that our seats were the last row which does not recline at all. We checked 14 hrs before the flight yet we got the last row. The staff were were not helpful when we asked for help to change our seats saying the flight was full. To add to our misery our hand luggage had to be kept in between our legs as the overhead compartment was full. The hot meal pack food is pathetic. Other then that no much choice and very expensive. They don't even give water for free which is the basics. Absolutely pathetic experience - with the extras cost it comes as expensive as any other airline.

"never ignore the reviews"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Sydney to Bangalore via Singapore. I picked this flight solely because departure from Sydney was at 1.30 pm, layover at Singapore was 2.50 hrs then arrival at Bangalore would be 10.55pm the same night - they delayed my flight at last moment and mailed that information to me at about 11.30 pm the night before departure, so late i couldn't make any alternate arrangements. The delay was 2.0 hrs long - if it was 3 hrs or more the airline would have to issue every passenger a $50 voucher - however flight landed at Singapore 2 hrs later than scheduled. Before boarding the staff at Sydney airport promised me that my connecting flight and stay arrangements would be sorted once I met the staff at Singapore - my connecting flight had left 2 hrs before I landed, staff was overtly rude. They patched me up with a much cheaper flight which would leave 8 hrs later (overnight stay) - upon asking about the accommodation , they asked me to lay around at the airport. Biggest lesson of my life - never ignore the reviews about airlines before booking flights.
