    I’ve flown Scoot several times, and I really have no complaints. They are much better than most discount airlines.

      Q0. which airplane jet models are comfortable? are seating space determined by airlines or the airplane jet model? I am a tall person
      Q1. Can we carry a handbag/backpack along with the carry on cabin baggage without paying anything extra? Do they weigh them and size them as well?
      Q2. Do cheaper flights mean they could be less safe? less skilled pilots? old tech aeroplanes?
      Q3. can we carry our food items and water?

    The reason why scoot is so cheap is because on the ground, they don’t sign up for a lot of soft services that other carriers do, like cabin cleaning between flights, refuelling at outstations, lavatory servicing etc. All of this combined allows them to spend less time on the ground and get quicker turnarounds, reducing airport fees in the process. Then with their baggage rules, most flying with them would only have carry-on, which lessens the plane’s take off weight and allows them to consume less fuel. A lot of their flights also have less than favourable take-off and landing slots at both the departure and destination airport, which means that airport managers can offer them better rates than planes flying at regular, sociable hours.

      Regarding Scoot economy flight booking:
      1. can we carry some food items?
      2. is bagpack (personal item bag) also included in the weight allowance? OR both the luggage/cabin trolley bag and bagpack/personal item bag considered in weight allowance?
      3. It is my first flight. Are the bags weighed when we have to board the flight or early on so that after weighing we can eat something at the airport and, probably, buy some food items to take with us on the flight?
      4. The personal item bag dimensions mentioned by my both airlines are quite small 40cm x 20cm x 10cm. Is this very strict or can I carry my normal sized bagpack as personal item bag which is about 150% (1.5x) of this?
      5. Can an overnighter trolley bag (44cm x 44cm x 23 cm = 111cm) fit in the overhead compartment? Can I carry this bag as my carry on cabin luggage with Scoot economy?

      1: Technically there are restrictions and they could check size and weight. But practically if they aren't very big the ground staff won't bother.
      2: The safety requirements are the same for budget airlines. However some full setvice carriers may implement complementary extra steps which most budget carriers won't. But that doesn't mean that they are kot safe.
      3. Most airlines do allow that, but Scoot is an exception, they don't allow it

    After a flight with them from SIN to TPE, I also thought they were OK-ish but weird (charging S$ 40 extra to sit in a seat with a head rest was a new one to me) but then I was forced to fly on them on their longest flight (after Turkish & United couldn't agree on the luggage allowance of my biz mileage ticket - 0 or 40 kgs 😭 and I had to return home from the airport for the 1st time in my life) and it was an absolute 14 hours nightmare.
    They're also the only airline that refuses to give you a refund if your flight gets cancelled and the next one isn't for days and I won't ever agree to this, as it only means they can now jerk you around as they please without consequences where it hurts.

      @@garrysingh3337 are you talking about scoot? If yes, than yes for Q1, I don’t think you will need to pay extra for luggage’s that you bring onto the plane. I am not sure what is the weight limit but as of my past experience, they do not weigh my luggage’s. for question 2, Scoot is perfectly safe. With no fatal incidents at all. They use the Boeing 787 Dreamliner which is a new and extremely safe aircraft. This plane too had no fatal incidents. So to answer question, they do not compromise safety on cheap flights. For the third question, you can bring water by refilling after the plane security and you can still secretly bring and eat your own food on board. Scoot won’t check it.

    Good video. I’ve not flown with Scoot but I did with their predecessor (forgotten the name) and with Singapore.
    I agree with your conclusions re. budget airlines: if you want more than they’re offering then you need to fly full-service. I can do budget airlines for short flights (two hours or so) but not much longer. I had a bad couple of flights with Ryanair a few years ago, simply because the seat was so uncomfortable for the four+ hours of the flight (UK to Crete & back). But shorter flights with them were fine.
