Except for flight everything for an additional cost. How does Scoot sell extremely cheap airfare from Vienna?

Fly to the beautiful Langkawi in Malaysia for 430 euros? Move to Bali for 440 euros? To experience Phuket or boxes in Thailand for less than 500 euros?

The low -cost airline SCOOT began operating a line between Vienna and Singapore from 3 June. However, you will have to pack up in your luggage with a maximum weight of ten kilograms.

And you have to pay extra for everything else.

The company is trying to rewrite the market with flights to exotic in Asia. It offers prices in which classic airlines normally cannot compete.

Sounds like an offer that is not refused. However, the airline is not intended for all types of travelers. The services that have standard airlines included in the ticket price were dismantled into small and charged. And yet she is doing well.

Daughter of top airlines of the world

When Aerolinka Scoot She announced in mid -January 2025That she is going to launch a new line from Vienna to Singapore, many people did not know her in our country.

Scoot is not a new player on the market. It belongs to the airline Singapore Airlines – one of the largest airlines in the world. The public is planned to establish a low -cost airline that would complement the Singapore Airlines lines, She first learned in 2011. Scoot launched operation in 2012.

In his fleet has aircraft Boeing 787 Dreamliner used for long flights, but also Airbus A320neo machines used for regional flights. For example, Dreamliner operates a flight from Vienna to Singapore, the connection to Denpasar Airport in Bali is provided by A320neo.

Singapore Airlines became the fifth best airline in the world in the Airline Ratings. In the low -cost airline category, however, he did not shame or scoot – according eighth partition, right behind Ryanair.

From the approach that is embossed Ireland Society, Scoot is really not far away.

In the basic price of the ticket to passengers, it offers only two accessories in addition to the flight itself. Maximum ten -kilogram baggage and random seat on board.

Of course, you need to pay extra for a particular seat. While Ryanair offers passengers a 73.66-centimeter foot space, Scoot is more generous. With a foot space wide more than 78 centimeters It is at the same level as most standard airlines.

Nevertheless, you can pay for the « Front Seat » for faster leaving the plane, « Super Seat » with more foot space, « Stretch Seat » with a slightly larger foot space or behind the « Scoot-in-Silence » seat, where the principles of silent zone and sit there can only passengers older than twelve years, so no crying children.

You can pay extra for the seat, but also for the priority boarding.

There is also a premium class « Scootplus », which for an additional fee combines a better seat, Wi-Fi, food and priority onset.

Actual ticket price

We wanted to see for ourselves how much a flight in Bali would actually cost us if we paid off everything we expect from a comfortable flight lasting more than eleven (only from Vienna to Singapore).

Up to date Sale Scoota is mainly valid for dates in November. November is a suitable month to visit Bali, the rainy season is not yet in full swing. Therefore, we would also see piles of sun and occasional showers.

The price of the basic ticket in the dates from 8 to 19 November would cost us directly through the official SCOOT website to 440.7 euros. With a few compromises, we would be able to pack up in ten kilogram baggage and take it on board, but if we did not want to limit ourselves, a twenty -kilogram suitcase into the hold would cost 140.4 euros.

We do not solve the priority boarding. After all, the more people pay extra for it, the less priority the onset becomes. Otherwise, the Board Me FIRST is worth four euros for each flight, ie sixteen euros.

We would like to eat in Singapore for eleven hours in Singapore, so we will bidirectionally order the chicken in Teriyaki sauce with a drink and a snack for thirteen euros. On flights from Singapore in Bali we choose egg croissant or bagel for a total of seventeen euros.

We would spend 43 euros for food. A bottle of water otherwise on board costs two euros.

With food this is complicated at scooty because Aeroline officially prohibits eating food and beveragesthat have not been purchased on board. According to travelers in various forums, however, the company tolerates its own water bottle or small snacks that you bring to the plane.

One of the latest supplements we would probably not have liked is the possibility to charge during the flight to Singapore mobile phone. This option is only available on the Dreamliner plane, so it would cost us another ten euros extra.

From April 1. banned charging your own devices from Powerbank on board . Powerbank you can take with you but use it for charging smartphone you shouldn’t have. Although, who would have time to control it?

Even without a selected particular seat and priority onset, we would pay 634.1 euros for a ticket with Scoot. If you are lucky, at a price of 650 euros or more, you can sometimes get a ticket in Bali from the sale of the standard airline, so the question is when and to whom the flight will pay off.

Getting to Bali for the amount of below five hundred euros is great, as a large number of young people do not need to be holding down luggage and can also do with the inconspicuous consumption of their own food on board, but passengers will probably be a bit demanding to comfort travel from endless announcements.

Or they combine extra services by suddenly getting on the price of classic airline tickets.
