About Scoot

Scoot is the low-cost airline of the Singapore Airlines Group, flying under IATA code TR and ICAO code TGW from its single hub at Singapore Changi Airport. Singapore Airlines is its parent company and full owner. Many travellers simply search for "Scoot airlines", and the brand is built around one idea: a simple base fare, with the freedom to add only the extras you need.

What sets Scoot apart from most budget carriers is range. Alongside short regional hops on Airbus and Embraer jets, it flies Boeing 787 Dreamliners on long sectors to Australia, North Asia and Europe. That means a single airline can take you from a quick trip across Southeast Asia to an overnight flight to Athens, all connecting through Changi.

Every Scoot flight in Singapore departs from Changi Airport Terminal 1. Because the network is built around that one hub, connections through Singapore are a big part of how people use the airline. If your flights sit on a single booking itinerary, checked bags are tagged through to your final destination, so you don't need to collect and re-check them at Changi.

This guide brings together what you need before flying: the fleet, the main routes, the baggage rules for each fare, check-in times, cabin options and the change and refund rules. It closes with practical steps for comparing and booking Scoot flights on Traveloka.

Airline Overview and History

The Singapore Airlines Group set up Scoot in 2011 to compete in the fast-growing market for budget travel on medium- and long-haul routes. Rather than copying the short-haul model used by most low-cost airlines in the region, Scoot was designed from the start to fly longer distances with wide-body aircraft.

Its first flight took off on 4 June 2012, from Singapore to Sydney. The early fleet was made up of Boeing 777-200 aircraft taken over from the parent airline. Over the following years those jets were replaced by Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which became the backbone of the long-haul network.

The biggest change in the airline's history came in July 2017. That month, sister carrier Tigerair Singapore was merged into Scoot. The combined airline kept the Scoot name and livery but took over Tigerair's air operator's certificate. This is why Scoot's IATA code changed from TZ to TR, and why its ICAO code is TGW.

The merger gave Scoot a single network that mixed Tigerair's short-haul Airbus routes with its own long-haul Dreamliner flying. In June 2017 it also opened its first route to Europe, linking Singapore with Athens. Later, in 2024, it added Embraer E190-E2 jets to serve smaller regional cities where a larger aircraft would be too big.

Ownership and partners

Scoot is a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines. It is not a member of an airline alliance. Instead, it works with partner airlines through interline agreements, the most important being its parent. On an interline journey with Singapore Airlines booked on one itinerary, you check in once to your final destination and connect at Changi without passing through immigration or collecting your bags.

Frequent flyers are looked after by KrisFlyer, the Singapore Airlines loyalty programme. Scoot does not run a separate scheme of its own. KrisFlyer members can earn miles on Scoot flights, and Scoot flying also earns Elite miles that count towards the Elite Silver and Elite Gold tiers.

Fleet and Aircraft

Scoot flies three families of aircraft. Each one has a clear job in the network, so the plane you board says a lot about the kind of trip you are taking.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner

The Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliners handle Scoot's long-haul and busier medium-haul routes, including flights to Australia, Japan, Korea and Europe. They are the only Scoot aircraft with two cabins: Economy and the premium ScootPlus cabin. They are also the aircraft that carry inflight Wi-Fi.

The Dreamliner is built from composite materials, which allows a more comfortable cabin pressure and higher humidity than older jets. Passengers also notice the larger windows with electronic dimming. On a flight of eight hours or more, those details make a real difference to how you feel when you land.

Airbus A320 family

Short and medium regional routes use the Airbus A320ceo, A320neo and A321neo. All three are set up in a single Economy class. The A320neo seats 186 passengers and the A321neo seats 236. The neo models use newer engines that burn noticeably less fuel than the older generation, which also cuts emissions on each flight.

Embraer E190-E2

The Embraer E190-E2 is the smallest jet in the fleet. It has a 2-2 seating layout, so every passenger gets either a window or an aisle seat, with no middle seat at all. Scoot uses it on thinner regional routes, where it can offer a direct flight that would not fill a larger aircraft.

Check-in times differ by aircraft type, as explained in the check-in guide below. It is worth checking which aircraft your flight uses when you book, so you know when the counter opens.

Top Flight Routes

Every Scoot route touches Singapore. The network reaches across Southeast Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Australia and parts of Europe and the Middle East. Here are some of the routes travellers book most often, each with its own page on Traveloka.

• Singapore to Sydney: the route Scoot launched with, flown on Boeing 787 Dreamliners to Australia's largest city.
• Singapore to Melbourne: a long-haul Dreamliner route popular with students, families and anyone heading to Victoria.
• Singapore to Perth: one of the shortest hops to Australia, making it an easy choice for a short break or a family visit.
• Singapore to Tokyo: a high-demand route to Japan's capital, busy in cherry blossom season and again in autumn.
• Singapore to Osaka: a direct way into the Kansai region, with Kyoto and Nara a short train ride away.
• Singapore to Seoul: a favourite for food, shopping and Korean culture, flown into Incheon.
• Singapore to Bangkok: a short regional route for temples, markets and Thai cooking.
• Singapore to Athens: Scoot's first European route, a long Dreamliner flight that puts the Greek islands within reach.

Many travellers combine two Scoot flights through Changi, such as Sydney to Bangkok or Perth to Osaka. When both flights are on one booking, your checked baggage is transferred for you. If you book two separate tickets, you must clear immigration, collect your bags and check in again, so allow plenty of time between flights.

Baggage Allowance and Policies

Scoot sells its Economy seats as four fare types: Basic, Value, Flex and ScootPlus. The fare you choose decides how much baggage you can bring. Knowing the rules before you pack avoids unexpected fees at the airport.

Cabin baggage

• Basic, Value and Flex fares allow up to two pieces of cabin baggage with a combined weight of 10 kg.
• ScootPlus allows up to two pieces with a combined weight of 15 kg.
• The main cabin bag must fit within 54 x 38 x 23 cm, with total linear dimensions of no more than 115 cm, so it fits in the overhead locker.
• The second item is a personal item, such as a handbag or laptop bag, that fits within 40 x 30 x 10 cm and goes under the seat in front of you.

Checked baggage

• Basic: no checked baggage included. You can add it as an extra.
• Value: 20 kg of checked baggage included.
• Flex: 20 kg of checked baggage included.
• ScootPlus: 30 kg of checked baggage included.

Economy travellers can buy a checked allowance from 20 kg up to 40 kg. ScootPlus passengers can top up their 30 kg allowance to 40 kg. A fee applies to each upgrade, and it varies by route. Whatever allowance you hold, no single bag may weigh more than 32 kg, and a bag should not measure more than 158 cm when its length, width and height are added together.

Your allowance is a total weight, not a number of bags. That makes it easy to split your belongings across two lighter bags instead of one heavy one. Sports equipment such as golf clubs or a bicycle also counts towards the same allowance, so include it when you choose your baggage at booking.

Infants and baggage

An infant who travels on an adult's lap does not get a cabin or checked baggage allowance of their own. Pack the baby's things within the accompanying adult's allowance, or add extra checked baggage when you book.

Restricted items

Scoot follows international aviation security rules. Power banks, spare lithium batteries and e-cigarettes must go in your cabin baggage, never in checked bags. Liquids in your cabin bag must be in containers of 100 ml or less, packed together in one clear resealable bag.

Check-in Guide

Scoot offers three ways to check in: online, at a self-service kiosk where available, and at the airport counter. Search interest in "Scoot check in" is high, so here are the times that matter.

Online and mobile check-in

Web and mobile check-in opens 48 hours before departure and closes 1.5 hours before. Once you are checked in, you can save a mobile boarding pass on your phone on eligible flights. If you only have cabin baggage and your boarding pass is valid, you can head straight to security.

A booking made through Traveloka can still check in online. Go to the Scoot check-in page and enter your Scoot booking reference and last name, both shown in your confirmation email.

Online check-in is not available for every booking. You will need to check in at the counter if you are:

• travelling with an infant
• pregnant
• on a multi-city booking
• connecting onto one of Scoot's partner airlines
• a guest who needs special assistance, such as a wheelchair or an extra seat

Airport counter check-in

• For Boeing 787 flights, counters open 3 hours before departure.
• For Airbus A320, A321 and Embraer E190-E2 flights, counters open 2.5 hours before departure.
• Counters close 60 minutes before departure on every flight. After that, you will not be accepted.

At Changi Airport, all Scoot flights use Terminal 1. Staff at the counter check your travel documents, print your boarding pass and take your checked bags. Even if you have checked in online, you still need to visit the counter or bag drop if you have checked baggage.

Aim to arrive early enough to finish check-in well before the counter closes. Lines get longer around school holidays and long weekends, and the 60-minute cut-off is strictly applied.

Cabin Classes and In-Flight Experience

Scoot has two cabins. Economy is on every aircraft, while ScootPlus is only on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Economy

Economy is where most passengers fly, and the fare you pick shapes the experience. Basic gives you a seat and 10 kg of cabin baggage, with everything else added as you need it. Value adds 20 kg of checked baggage and seat selection. Flex adds flight changes on top of that.

If you want more room, emergency exit seats come with extra legroom for an added fee. They have their own conditions, since passengers in those rows must be willing and able to help in an emergency.

ScootPlus

ScootPlus is Scoot's premium cabin. It is not a lie-flat business class, but it is a clear step up from Economy. The plush leather seats are 18.5 to 19.5 inches wide, with a 38-inch seat pitch and more recline. Your fare includes:

• 15 kg of cabin baggage and 30 kg of checked baggage
• seat selection and priority boarding
• a complimentary meal with a non-alcoholic drink, or two meals on flights longer than 11 hours
• 200 MB of Wi-Fi data and in-seat power
• a blanket on flights longer than 11 hours

Meals on board

Meals are not included in Basic, Value or Flex fares. You can pre-order a hot meal before you fly or buy food and drinks on board. Pre-ordering is the safer choice on long flights, since popular dishes can sell out once the cart starts moving.

Wi-Fi and power

Wi-Fi is available on Scoot's Boeing 787 Dreamliners. It is sold as data plans, from a small 20 MB plan up to a 1 GB plan, so your access lasts until the data runs out rather than for a set time. You can buy a plan when you book or through Manage My Booking up to 2 hours before departure. On Airbus and Embraer flights, download your films and music before you leave home.

Passenger Policies and Special Services

Infants and children

• Infants can fly from 8 days old until just before their second birthday.
• Each infant must travel with an accompanying guest aged 18 or over, and only one infant is allowed per adult.
• A baby must be at least 6 months old to have a seat of their own. Younger babies travel on an adult's lap.
• You may bring your own forward-facing child safety seat for an infant aged 6 months to under 2, or a child under 3, as long as the child has a paid seat.

Young passengers travelling alone

Scoot treats guests aged 12 to 17 who fly without an adult as unaccompanied minors. They can travel with prior arrangement for the Unaccompanied Minor Service, which needs a completed request form. Children under 12 cannot fly alone on Scoot and must travel with a guest aged 18 or over.

Animals on board

Scoot does not carry pets or other live animals, in the cabin or in the hold. The one exception is a service dog travelling with a guest who has a visual or hearing impairment. You must give notice at booking or at least 48 hours before departure, whichever is earlier, and bring the right entry approvals for your destination. A maximum of two assistance animals can travel on each flight.

Special assistance

Guests with reduced mobility, visual or hearing impairments or medical needs can request assistance from Scoot. Because these guests cannot check in online, plan to use the airport counter, and arrange support with the airline well before your flight.

Reschedule, Cancellation, and Refund Policy

Scoot's fare rules are strict, so it is worth reading them before you book.

Changing a flight

You can change the date or time of your flight, or the passenger's name, up to 4 hours before departure. A change fee applies, plus any difference in fare. You cannot change the origin or destination of a booking. If your booking includes a flight operated by a partner airline, date, time and name changes are not possible for any flight in that booking.

The Flex fare includes flight changes, which suits travellers whose plans may move. Scoot also sells optional flexibility add-ons, such as Change Your Flight and Cancel Your Trip, which add more freedom to a booking.

Cancellations and refunds

Under Scoot's standard fare rules, cancellations, refunds and credits are not permitted. If you might need to cancel, consider the Cancel Your Trip add-on, which can be bought at booking or within 24 hours afterwards.

Bookings made on Traveloka

If you booked your Scoot flight on Traveloka, start any change from My Booking in the Traveloka app or website. You will see the options your fare allows and any amount to pay before you confirm. For disruptions caused by the airline, such as a cancelled or heavily delayed flight, contact Traveloka customer service with your booking details so the team can help you with the options Scoot offers.

Why Book Scoot Flights on Traveloka

Traveloka lets you compare Scoot flights with other airlines on the same route in one search. You can filter by departure time, duration and number of stops, then sort the results to find the flight that fits your plans.

During booking you can add the extras Scoot sells, such as checked baggage, seats and meals, so your whole trip is set up in one place. Your e-ticket arrives by email and in the Traveloka app as soon as payment is confirmed.

After you book, My Booking keeps your itinerary, booking reference and add-ons together. That is useful when you check in online, since you need the booking reference and last name. Traveloka customer service is available 24/7 if you need help with a change or a question about your trip.

You can also pair your flight with a hotel, airport transfer or activity on the same app. That keeps the full trip, from Changi connection to your stay at the destination, in one account.

Tips for Finding Cheap Flights on Traveloka

A few simple habits can lower the cost of a Scoot trip.

• Pick the right fare for your bags. If you travel with cabin baggage only, Basic keeps the ticket simple. If you know you will check a bag, compare Basic plus baggage with Value, which already includes 20 kg.
• Be flexible with dates. Fares move from day to day. Shifting your trip by a day or two, or flying midweek, can make a real difference.
• Book ahead. Booking a few weeks before you travel usually gives you a wider choice of fares than waiting until the last minute, especially in school holidays.
• Set a price alert. Traveloka can notify you when the fare on your chosen route changes, so you don't have to keep checking.
• Add extras at booking. Choose your baggage, meals and Wi-Fi plan before you fly rather than at the airport or on board.
• Look at connections through Singapore. Two Scoot flights on one booking via Changi can open up destinations that have no direct service from your city.
