Scoot! SQ's LCC gets a name

[flyguy]

looks like the long-haul budget doesnt seem to be proving profitable as Air Asia X have realised and have cut its long haul services to UK, Orly in France and even Delhi n Mumbai and will be cutting its NZ service too as they changed their strategy to medium haul with flights between 6 to 8 hrs flight time.
Hence Sccot's long haul maybe in the same boat unless of course the fares are not so budget which then will not make it so appealing than full service airlines; and further as Scoot uses the 772s for flights less than 7 hrs as its current 2 named destinations, it will not be efficient to do so with the 772s too.

Not surprising, but a rather unflattering uniform

Go figure.

Ticket sales will commence once AOC is awarded which is expected to be in the coming weeks.

Looks like the inaugural flights for Scoot will happen on 26JUN12.

Try now, I just ticketed for Aug 20 to 26 and it went through.

Maybe after taking over SQ's unwanted 772s, they're also taking SQ's unwanted website and booking back-end?

Seems like a premium economy rather than Business!

[CarbonMan]

With a 3-4-3 config in biz, I can't disagree.

[SilverChris]

2-4-2 Business?

[SilverChris]

I'm eager to check out the seats, particularly the J ones. But from what I can tell, it's not going to be anything near business. No lie-flat seats ala Air Asia X.

And, they haven't thought of a menu yet. Would be great if customers could prebook, or at least check out their F&B offerings and prices so they can decide whether or not the FlyBagEat is worth it.

[Nick C]

Ok. A little bird just corrected me. 26JUN12 is not the inaugural date. Flight is on another day.

The cost you pay is a fraction of J fares on SQ. Cannot expect too much
