Check the fare conditions and passenger details before payment, and use your booking confirmation to find the airline reference for check-in.
Scoot is a Singaporean low-cost long-haul airline operating under IATA code TR and ICAO code TGW, headquartered at Changi Airport in Singapore. Founded in 2011 as a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines Group, the airline was initially created to allow the parent company to compete in the rapidly growing budget travel segment across Asia-Pacific and beyond. Scoot began commercial operations in June 2012 with its inaugural flight from Singapore to Sydney, and has since grown into one of the region's most recognised low-cost carriers.
In July 2017, Scoot merged with fellow Singapore Airlines subsidiary Tigerair Singapore, consolidating all low-cost operations under the Scoot brand. Today, the airline serves over 60 destinations across Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East from its hub at Singapore Changi Airport. Scoot offers passengers affordable fares with the option to customise their travel experience through paid add-ons for baggage, meals and seat selection, with Wi-Fi available on Boeing 787 flights.
Airline Overview and History
Scoot was established to fill a strategic gap in Singapore Airlines Group's network, targeting price-conscious leisure and business travellers on medium- and long-haul routes. Key milestones in the airline's history include:
- November 2011 — Scoot Pte Ltd officially incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines
- June 2012 — Launched inaugural flight from Singapore to Sydney using a Boeing 777-200
- 2015 — Took delivery of its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner, becoming one of the first low-cost carriers to operate wide-body aircraft
- 2014 — Expanded network to include destinations in China, Japan, South Korea, and India
- July 2017 — Merged with Tigerair Singapore, absorbing all Tigerair routes and fleet under the Scoot brand
- June 2017 — Launched flights to Athens, its first European destination, followed by Berlin in 2018
- 2024 — Named World's Best Long Haul Low-Cost Airline at the Skytrax World Airline Awards
- 2020–2021 — Adjusted network during the global pandemic, maintaining key routes and cargo operations
- 2022–2023 — Rapidly restored and expanded services as travel demand recovered across Asia-Pacific
- 2024 — Introduced Embraer E190-E2 aircraft for thinner regional routes
The airline's primary hub is Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), consistently ranked among the world's best airports and a major aviation hub in Southeast Asia. From Changi, Scoot connects passengers to destinations across more than a dozen countries and territories, offering seamless connectivity through the airport's extensive transit facilities. The airline's mission is to inspire travel by offering affordable fares and a safe, reliable flying experience.
Fleet and Aircraft
Scoot operates a modern mixed fleet of wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, giving the airline flexibility to serve both short-haul regional routes and long-haul intercontinental services. The fleet includes the following aircraft types:
- Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner — Configured for medium- and long-haul routes to destinations in Australia, Northeast Asia, India, and the Middle East. Features a two-class cabin with Economy and ScootPlus
- Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner — The larger variant of the 787 family, used on high-demand long-haul routes. Offers improved fuel efficiency and extended range capability
- Airbus A320/A320neo — Narrow-body aircraft used for short-haul routes within Southeast Asia, including flights to Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines
- Airbus A321neo — A newer addition to the fleet, offering greater capacity and improved fuel efficiency on popular regional routes
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet is a key differentiator for Scoot, making it one of only a handful of low-cost carriers worldwide to operate wide-body aircraft. The Dreamliner's advanced composite construction, lower cabin altitude, larger windows, and improved humidity levels contribute to a more comfortable passenger experience, particularly on longer flights. The Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft incorporate new-generation engines that deliver significant fuel savings and reduced emissions, supporting the airline's commitment to sustainable aviation.
Top Flight Routes
Scoot operates an extensive network from its Singapore hub, connecting passengers to destinations across Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Australia, and selected cities in Europe and the Middle East. For Malaysian travellers, Scoot offers convenient access to Singapore and onward connections to the wider Scoot network. Key routes relevant to travellers from Malaysia include:
- Kuala Lumpur to Singapore — The most popular cross-border route in the region, connecting Malaysia's capital to Scoot's hub at Changi Airport for onward connections
- Kuala Lumpur to Sydney — One of the most sought-after long-haul routes, accessible via a connection through Singapore
- Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne — Popular with students, families, and leisure travellers heading to Australia's cultural capital
- Kuala Lumpur to Osaka — A favourite route for Malaysian travellers visiting Japan, with connections via Singapore
- Kuala Lumpur to Seoul — High-demand route to South Korea, especially popular during cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons
- Kuala Lumpur to Taipei — Connecting Malaysian travellers to Taiwan's vibrant capital for food, culture, and night markets
- Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok — A top regional leisure route for shopping, temples, and Thai cuisine
- Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong — Popular for both leisure and business travel
From its Singapore hub, Scoot also serves destinations including Tokyo (Narita), Sapporo, Perth, Tianjin, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Jeju, Jeddah, and Athens, among others. For connections through Singapore, check whether every flight is on the same booking itinerary and whether through check-in applies. Scoot and Singapore Airlines flights booked together can qualify for through check-in. Separate tickets do not guarantee baggage transfer: you may need to clear arrival immigration, collect your bags and check in again for the onward flight. Allow time for those procedures and check Singapore entry requirements for your passport. You can explore additional routes from Malaysia on Traveloka:
Baggage Allowance and Policies
As a low-cost carrier, Scoot operates a pay-for-what-you-need model where passengers can customise their baggage allowance based on their travel requirements. Understanding the baggage policy before you fly helps avoid unexpected charges at the airport.
Cabin Baggage
- Weight limit: 10 kg per passenger (Economy); 15 kg per passenger (ScootPlus)
- Maximum dimensions: 54 x 38 x 23 cm (including handles and wheels)
- Number of items: One cabin bag plus one small personal item (handbag, laptop bag, or similar)
- ScootPlus passengers: Entitled to carry two pieces of cabin baggage totalling up to 15 kg
Cabin baggage that exceeds the weight or size limits will be checked in at the gate, and applicable fees may be charged.
Checked Baggage
- Economy (Basic fare): No free checked baggage included — must be purchased as an add-on
- Economy (Value fare): 20 kg checked baggage included
- Economy (Flex fare): 20 kg checked baggage included, with flight changes included
- ScootPlus: 30 kg checked baggage included
- Maximum weight per piece: 32 kg for Economy; 32 kg for ScootPlus
- Add-on options: Purchase checked baggage in increments of 20 kg, 25 kg, 30 kg, 35 kg, or 40 kg during booking on Traveloka
Purchasing checked baggage during booking is significantly cheaper than buying it at the airport. Scoot charges higher fees for baggage purchased at the check-in counter, so pre-booking is strongly recommended.

Scoot follows international aviation security regulations set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). Key restrictions include:
- Flammable liquids, gases, explosives, and toxic substances are prohibited in both cabin and checked baggage

- Power banks: carry no more than two per passenger in cabin baggage, never in checked bags or overhead compartments. Do not use or charge them during the flight. Units up to 100Wh need no special approval; those between 100Wh and 160Wh need prior airline approval. Check Scoot’s dangerous-goods rules for other batteries and electronic cigarettes.
- Liquids in cabin baggage are limited to containers of 100 ml or less, packed in a single transparent resealable bag of no more than 1 litre total

When the service is available at cruising altitude, connect to the Scoot_WiFi network and open the onboard portal to enter an access code or purchase a session.

- Open the Traveloka app or website and navigate to My Booking
- Select the booking you wish to modify and tap the reschedule option
- Choose a new flight date and time from available options

Cancellations and Refunds
Refund eligibility depends on the ticket type and circumstances:
- Voluntary cancellations: Standard fare rules generally do not permit refunds or credits. Scoot also sells a separate Cancel Your Trip product for eligible bookings, with its own purchase conditions, deadlines and exclusions. Do not assume this product is included in a Traveloka fare; review the cancellation conditions attached to your actual booking

- Scoot vouchers: If a voucher is offered, check its value, expiry date and redemption conditions before accepting. A travel voucher differs from a refund to the original payment method
To request a cancellation or refund, open your booking details on Traveloka and review the available options. If you cannot submit the request there, contact Traveloka Customer Service with the booking reference and any airline disruption notice. Confirm the eligible amount, any deductions, refund method and estimated processing time for your case. Follow the request status after submission rather than assuming a fixed payment date.
