Changi Airport too congested, too many planes waiting to depart, scoot paid lower fees for the timeslot. Airlines need to pay for the timeslot to fly and to land, it's limited.

If you want more punctual, top up abit, take Singapore Airlines

Could be a passenger no show after checking in luggage so they need to unload the container, find/remove the luggage, then pack and reload the container. Can take quite a while.

Take airplane always has a chance of delay one, regardless of SQ or budget. Although percentage is lower for the former, but air traffic situation is beyond control, unless it's your first few flights of your life.

scoot is very expensive nowadays and the b787 cabin is filthy

i rather fly full service and transit somewhere else then flying direct on scoot

go vienna is fly middle east carriers

go osaka is fly cathay

only good thing about scoot is their e190 aircraft

Price delta between SQ and budget is almost 2-3x for this route. No need premium for such a short haul. Will stick to AirAsia since they’re more punctual for this route.

Budget airlines delayed is quite normal. Full-fledged airlines have lesser delays.

Scoot is no longer cheap. period.
but they carry the "budget" badge so they can excuse themselves from explaining delays.

i miss those days whereby jetstar 20kg checked in is only $22 one way ...
And emergency row is $17.80 one way .
Since paid $48 per year to join their club membership, which entitles you to 20% discount on checked in baggage and seat selection.

a couple of month before jetstar ended their singapore market service, they have singapore to krabi for as low as 80+ two way taxes in. Now scoot take over, scary sia, 250+ two way taxes in haha
