Always delay a few weeks before the flight by 4 to 5 hours. Not enough to claim insurance kind. Then actual day delay another 1-2 hours so again total 6 over hours but never enough to meet criteria for insurance. So often that I permanent ban them already.

Took a few times to SEA countries for short trips. I like that it gives 10kg carry on instead of 7kg if I am not wrong.

No fuss, no delay.

So far so good.

80% of the time I take them will have delays.. now I banned scoot altogether they are just too unreliable.

Got once they changed their timing a few weeks before the departure date. Caused me to need to change my connecting flight. Then after that they changed their timing timing again, making me need to change the connecting flight AGAIN! Just stay away from scoot unless really no choice.

actually everybody need to manage expectations especially when booking budget airlines

besides the plane itself, other things sure also got lower priorities/qualities...

sometimes also heng suay

Not all budget airlines are unreliable. I’ve actually had 100% on time with airlines like Ryanair, Spirit and even Jetstar.

I am lucky I have taken 4 scoot flights without delay.

But there was once the boarding gate was changed at Changi airport and it was only reflected 1 hour before departure.

Scoot delayed my flight by 15 hours. It was supposed to be an early morning flight but got delayed till night time. They only sent the email several hours before the flight. I heard some passengers say they were already at the airport when they got the email.

After reaching the airport at the time they stipulated, the flight got further delayed. We were asked to change gates 3 times, and had to run from one end of the terminal to the other, and back again. One of the gate was given to SIA apparently. After all the delays, we still had to wait further. They gave us a $5 voucher to use at the terminal, but $5 can't buy much.

Never again, Scoot.

Never booking scoot again. Rather take Jetstar.
