Scoot! SQ's LCC gets a name

[viraj735]

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

2-4-2 Business?

Same config with KLM 777-300. On KLM the seat is ok in eco woth 3-4-3, but the aisle is too narrow, and with KLM the seat does not recline much.

No. KLM in J is 2-3-2.

2-4-2 in J is like the new United Business Class

I for some reason don't see flat beds though, massive plus point if they do, but with 38 inches as seat pitch, that would be impossible, unless you redefine the meaning of bed

This is the only picture i can find so far for the Scootbiz seats. I am not attracted for sure - not even at economy prices. I would rather fly regular economy and get the flexibility and the miles in return.

How can they start selling tickets without actual photos of the products they are selling. I am not going to jump into their sale fare until I know for sure what I am getting.

CX did the same thing for the Y+ product.

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.

That angled wooden plank?

I think some of us are forgetting what market of travellers OQ is targeting. This market is more price sensitive. So while SQ's Flexi Saver/GV2 may be a fraction more pricey and while still affordable to most of us on SQT, OQ's market will be unwilling to pay for the difference even if it's just $100. These travellers don't really bother much about mileage. Different priorities from us on SQT.

Nonetheless, I will be keen to try OQ on a one off basis - *hint* inaugural *hint*

Scoot to fly to Bangkok, Tianjin

Just got this email

Heard of the goubuli baozi? It's one of Tianjin's many distinctive delicacies. Once you've eaten your way through Tianjin, it'll only take 30 minutes to bring your appetite to Beijing by high-speed train. Eat all you can when you fly Scoot to Tianjin, dirt cheap without the usual cheap tricks.

And oh - we're also flying to Bangkok, Thailand. Just another thing to make your day.
And hopefully your year.

[choonhong]

just did a quick search

BKK to SYD return cost only S$322,
SIN to SYD return cost $402
for dates 10sept out, 15 sept return
purchasing power parity?

Had a peek at 9V-OTA in full livery at hangar 1. Must admit, the livery is scoot-acular. :-)Another sister ship, presuming OTB, was in
hangar 3 in livery as well.
