Scoot airlines seats review

Scoot airlines seats review

Scoot currently operates the Boeing 787 dreamliners as well the Airbus 320 and both fleets offer different seats to cater to different needs of flyers.

Standard seats

Boeing 787

Airbus 320

As compared to other budget airlines/low cost carriers, the seats at Scoot airlines are considered quite roomy with an average seat pitch of 31" and width of 18". However, do note that there are no headrest for the standard seats as they are only offered in the "higher end" seats. So please bring along some cushion for your head if you are flying long haul.

Super seats

Super seats provides 30% more legroom with a 34" seat pitch and an adjustable headrest is included. For me, the premium I have to pay when I upgraded it from standard seats to super seats is around SGD $27 as I flew long haul from Singapore to Australia. The cost of upgrading your seats is lower for shorter distance flights. Although you have to pay a higher price for the upgrade for long haul flights, it is worthwhile as comfort during long haul flights does make a difference.

Stretch seats

Stretch seats are the roomiest economy class seats and are offered on both the Boeing 787 and Airbus 320. There is 50% more legroom as compared to the standard seats (not super seats). However, the premium you have to pay is quite steep. For me, the upgrade to stretch seats from standard seats costs around SGD $67 per seat. Unless you really don't mind to pay that steep price for it, I would suggest that super seats are good enough.

ScootInSilence

In the Boeing 787, there is this ScootInSilence section (AKA quiet zone). The seats in this section are all super and stretch seats. If you are able to get seats in this section, I would recommend you guys to do so. Firstly, it is located near the alighting gate of the plane. This means you will be one of the first ones to leave the plane upon arrival. Secondly, there are no kids below 12 allowed in this section. This is terrific if you are flying long haul or overnight flights as it is quite tiring to hear a baby crying once every few minutes especially it is during midnight. Thirdly, there is no extra charges because you want to be in this section. The price of the seats are the same as the seats from the normal sections. Do note that there are very limited seats in this section. So do book early and if you are lucky enough to get the last row of this section, please go ahead for it as you can lie all the way back without disturbing anyone behind. 

If super and stretch seats are not good enough for you and you have extra cash to spare, do consider ScootBiz and do head over to my other post, Scoot business class review for ScootBiz (Scoot business class) review and scoot airlines review for a general scoot airlines review. 

Happy flying!

Scoot business class review

About Scoot Scoot is a low-cost carrier owned by Singapore Airlines (SIA). They focus on medium and long-haul routes with a fleet composed of Boeing 787s.  Buying ticket The difference in price between the economy fare and their business class (ScootBiz) is pretty small. Apart from the small difference in price, you also get an increase in baggage allowance, a meal, an alcoholic beverage, priority check-in and boarding, and some other perks.  Scoot has two types of Boeing 787s, namely the Boeing 787-8 and 787-9. Both types follows the 2-3-2 seating arrangement. The difference is that the 787-8 only has 21 business class seats while the 787-9 has 35. The seats are all located at the front of the plane.  At the airport There are a couple of desks dedicated to ScootBiz passengers. The queue for ScootBiz passengers are pretty quick as regular check-in desks are also taking in ScootBiz passengers as well as economy passengers. Do note that the boarding pa...

Scoot airlines review

Scoot's fleet Scoot currently operates a fleet of Boeing 787 after phasing out all of its Boeing 777 aircrafts acquired from Singapore Airlines (SIA). Similar to other low-cost carriers/budget airlines, you pay for seating arrangement, baggage, food, in-flight entertainment, etc. Carry-on baggage is restricted to 7kg with an additional 3kg for laptop. Advantage of flying with Scoot Prices are often competitive and they often have promotions with prices that are almost unbeatable. Do check out their Facebook page for upcoming promotions. Booking Due to the competitive pricing they offer, I do not expect high standards in terms of customer service from the airline. In fact, there are many complains on their Facebook page regarding their customer service standards. Booking a flight is a breeze on their website. Just choose your desired dates of travel, indicate your origin and destination and they will display the prices for neighbouring dates (plus point) as well a...
