Hey why don't you follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway as well - See you over there!

One time one of the Scoot cabin crew saw my boarding pass and halfway through the flight without me knowing, they turned on the rainbow lights and gave me a free chocolate cause it was my birthday. Even though Scoot is bad in quality and most service, it has a special place in my heart.

I flew with Scoot to Osaka last year during the typhoon season - my cousin was on a Singapore Airlines flight to the same destination departing around the same time (roughly a 10 am departure if I remember correctly). I'd woken up early in the morning, gone to the airport, waited all the way until boarding and it was then that someone from Scoot held an ipad walking around to inform us that the flight departure had been delayed by over 12 hours due to a typhoon. My cousin was informed by SQ of this delay the night before and stayed comfortably at home until the subsequent night departure. This blew my mind considering that SQ fully owns Scoot.

Well, if you have to spend 7 hours in an airport, let it be Changi!

Flew Scoot in late 2017, Singapore to Manila. My baggage check in baggage was overweight. I was willing to pay for extra baggage allowance but the ground staff was so nice and friendly and suggested that I put some in my hand-carry bag instead to avoid paying extra. That's excellent customer service and I still remember it up to this day.

4:41 : you placed your camera in the trashbin 😂😂😂

Scoot: we charge you 11$ to select a seat British airways: hold my beer - we chare 100£ to select a seat

Josh: If you flight Scoot, you either try to save a lot of money or there's no other choice *Lion Air: hold my beer*

We used Scoot to fly from Melbourne to Athens and we had sandwiches, croissants, cakes and many more with us. Also we had 5 bottles of water. Everything in our cabin luggage and no crew member said anything. Also we used out tablet instead the in flight entertainment. We paid $1550 in total for 2 return tickets with 40kg total baggage and 6h stop at Singapore. Second cheapest was Emirates with $1600 each ticket. If anyone want to pay $1600 more just to have meal and tv well....that's not me.

Rating cleaners is so nice! I always appreciate those hard working people at busy airports.

The TimeLapse was Phenomenal Josh!!! :-).

I took Scoot from Singapore to Taiwan, about 5 hours. The experience was not so bad, at least the seat was quite comfortable, better than other budget flight. So service is good service to me. The air crews leave me alone in the entire journey, proper friendly was not included. How nice!

My wife and I picked up return flights from Sydney to Vietnam for $501 each. Saved at least $900 compared to another airline we were going to fly on. Yeah 8 hours or so from Sydney to Singapore. Not a big deal.. Take your own blanket, snacks, travel pillow and entertainment... 13 hour lay over in Changi. (Changi is a mini holiday resort) and then another 3 1/2 hours to Hanoi. Its like Ryan Air for Asia. We travel light. No Check in Baggage. For the price it's pretty awesome. As long as I get there on time and don't end up at the bottom of the sea. I wouldn't consider if for a long haul though.

I was driving from Germany to The Netherlands when I saw you uploading the video. I couldn't wait to get home and even crossed the speed limits. Again another great video Josh!

A young member of our family travelled with an infant from Perth to Sydney with Tigerair Australia, the LCC of Virgin, then Sydney to Singapore with Scoot. The Tigerair plane was small and cramped but the cabin crew were very kind and helpful with the little one. On Scoot, the opposite. Excellent plane but the cabin crew were absolutely unhelpful. The little fellow was crying and she was getting blamed, she eventually fled with him to the toilet and sat there with him until he went to sleep then returned to her seat and held him, asleep, all the way to Singapore. Scoot is a technically competent airline, safe and reliable but for international LCC travel from Australia my choice would be Jetstar or Air Asia. And on both of these airlines if you pre-pay luggage and a meal you get almost what you get on a full service airline.

When I travel long distance on a budget airline I bring my own food, sandwich, fruit, nuts etc. Never been refused a free glass of water with any airline when I have asked.

I've flown Scoot once, though in their "ScootBiz" cabin - seat was good for the price, but the meal (included, and the same as is offered for sale in the rest of the plane) was borderline inedible - I wouldn't pay for one if it was an option.

Been flying Scoot for 10 years +...awesome airline. Real travellers know if you got more than 6 hrs in Changi Airport jump on MRT into town for a few hours

Oh my gosh! You actually spent a night at the airport to simulate a tired traveller. Amazing! Love your dedication Josh!

I've flown scoot a few times, from Aus to SIN and v.v. at the right price they are fantastic (I'm talking $150 AUD one way) once the fares move into the 250-400+ range one way the value quickly decreases. One other positive is they ans AirAsia are pretty good for last minute fares compared to a full service last minute.

Try Jetstar Josh, they are also really good at fleecing passengers

Seats: no one is sitting on us. We feel useless Josh: proceeds to sit on the floor Seats: why are we still here? Just to suffer

Wow Josh your video clips are really amazing! You have taken a large variety of flights: from first class in the most luxury airlines in the world to an economy class seat in a low-cost airline! 👏

Me: Tries to skip Cahills advert KZfaq: Gives me and advert KZfaq: my powers have doubled since the last time we fought

I grew up in Singapore and I flew scoot the most, mainly because scoot is the only airline that operates from singapore to my grandparent's city in China. It had always been a 787, (I have never took a scoot a320 lol) and although the service is not that good, I have always flew with them since I was one year old, so I actually thought scoot was pretty decent. When I was five and took british airlines for the first time, i was so surprised that in-flight entertainment screens existed. I went on to fly many other good airlines like emirates and singapore airlines, and now, every time I visit my grandparents, I have always dreaded stepping foot onto that 787. It is a really long flight, with no entertainment and they charge you a lot for wifi. By the way, scoot is the only airline I have taken that doesn't serve free meals and BAN you from eating food you brought on their flights. Also for a budget airline, their flights are not really that cheap. In fact, I toom an emirates flight to dubai (7 hours) that had a longer flight time than a scoot flight (6 hours), but for some reason, the emirates flight was cheaper than the scoot flight by $50.

I’ve flown Scoot on several occasions now, more recently from Perth to Singapore with a connector to Penang last week. I was able to select my seat but pay for it. I selected seat 44A which did recline and the extra space next to me was great. I arrived in Singapore @ 12am with the next flight departing @ 9am, so I feel your pain. To ease things I booked into the Plaza Lounge (S$80) which was over priced, over crowded, the food was terrible, bar closed and I couldn’t sleep as one guy was snoring, keeping everyone else awake. At least he got some sleep. The only good thing was the shower which was well worth the wait. Definitely not worth the money. Not sure if it’s due to Covid (I personally don’t think so) but the overall Scoot service and onboard catering is terrible. In addition, my booking was duplicated due to a processing glitch and was told by the CS agent that I would incur a S$50 fee for a refund. Common sense prevailed after a vigorous discussion and getting her to check with a supervisor, I was advised a fee would not be charged but the refund would take 6-8 weeks. I still have another month to wait for a refund. Also, I had to send an email to cancel the duplicated booking a week after they told me it was cancelled. Still no written response to my email. Totally disappointed with their overall performance…. It seems to have really gone downhill…….. Not a great way to start a relaxing holiday……..

I’m starting to miss your classic grey jumper! Keep up the great work.

Flew with Scoot from MEL-SIN-ATH return mid-2017 and loved it. It was my first international solo trip and the airfares cost me $900 (including a checked bag and seats) and I could not fault any of the segments. The aircrafts were clean and each flight departed and arrived on time. I haven't had the chance to fly them again, but will when airfare prices "normalise."

Really good video Josh! My new favourite channel!

I'm really enjoying your content recently, Josh. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

4:43 seriously 😂😂 You put camera in dustbin for your fantasy direction hahahaha...

There was once I took Scoot from Singapore to Thailand. My family got the seats at the back and we were able to sit all apart to look at the view😂

Air Asia is the king South East Asia. They captured the market in various countries.

i love it when Josh is angry and grumpy about things

Worth it when I paid SGD 580 for Jakarta-Singapore-Berlin return. Also personally I find Scoot’s food a lot better than many other budget airlines eg. Air Asia, Jetstar so the price is justified.

It’s crazy cOs I just realised your Malaysia video last night. And I’m Singaporean and you just posted so... :O

Bro bear in mind its a budget carrier, expect according to what you paid.

Flew them last year from SIN-KLU and back...felt cramped but flights were on time, good slots and for less than 1h absolutely acceptable...would fly them again

Try Wizz Air and after that you will absolutely LOVE Scoot!! 6 hrs from Astana (Nur Sultan) to Budapest on Wizz was an absolute pain.

Thank you josh wanted to really know about it

Respect your real review!

Hi Josh I live in R.P as an expat and fly to Perth, Australia normally twice a year. As I fund all my own travels i mostly use LCC as there are so many choices. If I was to choose the most reliable LCC i'd likely say Air Asia. I've had the least delays and never yet had a flight schedule change. I use 5J alot as I'm a sucker for cheaper prices but i must say they are the most unreliable LCC. Consistently changes to schedules and always delaying flights. I can't recall the last time i was not delayed. In saying that they have provided me very cheap fares given you book ahead of time and with there famous 1 piso fare promotion. I used them recently to Guam, similar flight time between SIN and MNL for $75USD roundtrip. That is an absolute bargain. Jetstar Asia i find decent but once again I dont use them as much as I once did since they no longer operate SIN-PER. Like Cebu Pacific, Jetstar Asia have a tendency to reschedule flights which is a hassle. As in customer service and on time departures 3K are sound. Finally Scoot, I have had my fair share of schedule changes with them and you make an excellent point, their flight timings are always early morning or late night which makes connections often prolonged. Singapore Changi I agree is an excellent airport to be stuck at. On my last long lay over i walked the entire T3 to T1 to T2 airside and noted the best sleeping areas for future trips. As long as you have a pillow Changi provide some decent seats and benches for resting. One last mention on Scoot, In January of 2018 my flight was retimed out of PER meaning my 2 hr connection in SIN was cut. My original connection was a red eye leaving Singapore about 1am. The next available flight was not until around 4pm. I know for a fact that the majority of LCC would simply rebook you on the next flight without much in terms of compensation. Scoot was very generous and I had a free stay at the Crowne Plaza T1 with buffet meals included. I was very surprised they were so generous. To sum it up, you simply get what you pay for. Personally flying sectors of 5 hrs or less I can't justify the full service costs. SQ is my favourite carrier but still the 5 hr rule applies. Exception: Expiring SQ Krisflyer miles which I'll consume. Safe travels to all. Michael

4:41 that's what you call dedication to vlogging

4:41 No one: Josh: *shoves camera down a bin

YOU COULD HAVE SPENT TIME IN CINEMA AND SWIMMING POOL IN THE AIRPORT

Lol...I remember falling asleep next to the Scoot checking counter when I was transiting from Changi to Bangkok

Ive been flying Scoot for about 5 years now (except 2020). I always thought in-flight food and water was more of a priviledge rather than an essential. I frequent the SIN to TSN and back

Another amazing video mate

AirAsia X has the better food, but Scoot definitely has the better aircraft for long haul flights

I think air asaia is the best at low cost in this region. And love your blogs very informative josh great stuff thank you

Great video josh

I had no problem with flying Scoot. I got what I paid for & they delivered. The Dreamliner is modern. & I paid a little more to choose my seat. In the quiet section. I met a married couple & we drank and forgot we were in the quiet section 😱😂 & were asked to quiet down. Which was a bit embarrassing for me. I’m not usually the noisy passenger….but we were enjoying ourselves. I’d fly them again. I’ve flown them 4 times.

I've had several scoot flights. All of them were great value e.g. Singapore - Berlin direct flight for 158€ back in 2018. Our seats has always been assigned together. Regarding the food: it's always expensive in the airplanes. Simply bring your own food. By now, they do have board entertainment which you can access with your phone. Flying with a low cost airline with having so many expectations is ridiculous

Good review... seems expensive but glad yoou got some sleep...

Your very own version of “The Terminal” 😅

Can you charge your phone? And would also like to know if the front row seats (seats without seats directly in front of them) include tray tables? Thanks

4:42 Can we appreciate that he put a camera inside a trash bin?

Can u believe that scoot parent company is singapore airlines lol.

Omg! The time lapse at the beginning looks so amazing! How long did it take to shoot this scene? And which camera do you use?

Congratulations for your dream jouney

Great content Josh.

How lucky you are. Always get window seat. ❣️ But this time not haven't got any window seat? Surprising

Literally the only long haul aircraft with no ife

Fly ti Bali from Singapore with Air Asia, they operate direct flight from Singapore also. Jetstar is a good choice too, with decent flight time as well.

cool vid!

Never heard of someone trying to be intentionally tired when flying on planes... but you do you bro.

I flew Scoot in Business class back in 2018. It was an okay flight. Now screen, so I was happy I had my big ipad with me. Tho... When on board, it was really cold, and travelling from one warm country to another, I did not bring a jacket with me into the plane. (From Singapore to Japan) and I was Freezing... So bad for 5 hours. The flight crew could only help me with a cup of warm water which helped a bit, but the plane being icy cold, that was really bad of them not to have blankets... Especially for Business class. The food was averrage, so no complaints. The only think was the heating. Otherwise. Nice crew and really nice view. I don't hate on them at all. Just think they should have blankets on board for long flights that are over 6 hours. :)

That airport is amazing. I'd spend all day there even if I wasn't flying anywhere.

If u travel with friends or family on scoot. Actually dont have to pay $11 for the seats. It will be automatically assigned together as long as all of them are checked in together. It happens to me quite a number of times! 🙆

Singapore to Berlin is 13 hours and I'm on that flight on Tuesday. Already a bit worried. That's gonna be very tough.

Flew scoot 787 from Melbourne to Bangkok DMK via Singapore and one of the most uncomfortable flights I’ve ever been on... The most annoying thing was the light and flight attendant call buttons on the arm rest which were pressed every time you leaned on them... Not a place I want to be spending 7 and a half hours again anytime soon. They’re probably one of the only airlines in the world to order the Dreamliner without IFE😂

Man !!love the videos

Is the student offer valid on scoot airline if the the other half of my journey is with Singapore airline??

What do you think about boeing 787 batteries?? I heard there is an issue on the battery. Is it fixed now already?

I can spend days at changi... Its the best airport I have ever seen. The best part is a free movie theatre and a free sleeping lounge

Love it when you said, "Scoot, get your shit together!" Great video as always, Josh!

love all your videos very interesting

Cheers, J.C. Was Conisidering Scoot from Gold Coast / OOL , next year. But Air Asia flies from OOL & BNE, so Air Asia it is. Thanks as always, Legend 👍🏻🥂

Josh, as long as you do the booking together, you and your friend can sit together.

nice a fellow LFC fan :) hopefully this year we go 1 rank better :)

Not being able to recline the seat is good as then the person in front can't recline into you!

I flew scoot gold coast to singapore. 13hr stopover and then 11hrs to Athens. It was pretty uncomfortable but cheap. They didn't have the padded head rests too.

Hey Josh! What's that something that always gets me excited about your videos? Haha And yes I would say focus more on budget or economy travel, because that's what many people look for when traveling first time. Cheers!👌

Hey Josh. Great video but here is my take on a couple of things. 1.Scoot is a budget brand of Singapore Airlines and I feel that they are just using Singapore Airlines brand to charge at a higher price. 2. As a proud Singaporean myself, $15 for food on a plane is not steep but a total rip off. 3. U are quite lucky that the plane landed early as i have never had a great experience. 4/5 times they had delays. 4. The service from the crew also feels like a crew that is higher on budget. 5. Lastly ur question on who is the king of budget airline. I would say Air Asia is still the best hands down. From the ground crew all the way to the flight crew service, cost, flight timings, no issues at all. Sorry for taking up too much of ur time to but in my thoughts but once again, thanks for the great video

They are selling the idea of buying cheap plane tickets, and treat yourself with a nice hotel plus tour with the money you saved.Not the other way around, like tiring yourself, making yourself disgruntled first before boarding a Scoot flight.Btw, they do have streaming if I'm not wrong :)

Even United does that kind of thing with the seat selection on the lowest fare. Most ridiculous on scoot is that you need to pay for the power socket, or did they change it? In Asia i prefer AirAsia, the food is quiet decent and fairly priced in my option.

i was surprised that you sort of enjoyed them. I see sooo many horror reviews of Scoot :D

nice video

Surprised you didn't grab sleep at one of the many airside hotels at Changi.

My concern with Scoot isn't so much that you have to pay for things but that the condition of the cabin is just poor. In the few times I've flown them, their seats were dirty and there was trash in the pockets. I'm not expecting the plane to be completely dirt free but it was just horrendous.

I also spent a bunch of hours on the Athens Airport due to an early morning flight. It was because of my flight from Athens - Paris (layover to get from Paris to LA) got cancelled and was rescheduled 2 days after, and since uber wasn’t a thing and i didn’t had cash anymore my wife and i decided to be at the airport since the night before 😂 It was like 10 hours. I was torture

I would say it's Air Asia! The best!. Haven't flown with scoot but I guess they are like SpiceJet of India!

Josh there is a option to choose your seat while booking the ticket itself

It was like $10US for a plate of chicken teriyaki with rice. That is not a bad price AT ALL for a meal in the sky.

Picking and choosing your assigned seat 💺 is a business in itself these days.

If you've ever been with scoot, you've loved the Singapore Airport because it's a magical place there

Josh you are the best! Love you man

You should try Jetstar 787 economy which is good for 2-3 hour flights not for 8+ hours

So called low cost airlines r actually not very low, ticket is little Cheaper but the Stress they give is huge.

Josh, Tiger merged with Scoot in 2017, so they're really no alternative. What your review ignored is that there are two groups of people when it comes to LCC: Those that book checked luggage, food & seat assignment at time of booking and those that will simply do without these services; basically next to nobody pays them those prices listed in the menu. Scoot days bringing your own food is forbidden but with so few staff that seems rather difficult to enforce. Fun fact #1: Even if you book in what they refer to as "Business class" on their long-haul overnight trips to/from Athens or Berlin - I believe Premium Economy is more accurate for what you get - you will still have to pay if you want a pillow or blanket! Fun fact #2: There was the case of a German NGO guy who saw those food prices after having booked a ticket and contacted Scoot and told them he would go on a hunger strike in protest. He then had to take the threat back (I believe Scoot told him they wouldn't honor the ticket if he carried out the threat) but come day of the trip, what did he do? Just had water, which was seen as the same thing. End of story: He's found himself blacklisted for life from Scoot/Tiger (if you go on their website the list something like 25 reasons that will get you banned - and making threats, even this type, which is mostly harming yourself - is one of them).
