Hey guys,
Some great fares with Scoot to Singapore today, no need for a stopover in Kuala Lumpur with AirAsia and you can save a few $$$! Also some good deals to Hong Kong, under $500 is a pretty good price.
Travel Period: Now - 25 October 2014
Booking period: 18 April 2014 to 20 April 2014
Examples below are for 22 to 26 May.
PER - SIN only $238 return
OOL - SIN only $338 return
SYD - SIN only $378 return
PER - HGK only $338 return
OOL - HGK only $438 return
SYD - HKG only $478 return
How are you getting those prices?, the lowest I can get through the Sccot website is 189 (Fly) + 189 (Fly) = 378
I'm getting these figures using the same dates as yours too.
We search multiple travel agencies to come up with our prices. If a flight is a return flight, then we also try breaking it up into 2 one-way flights to see if that is cheaper.
In this case, by breaking up the return flight into 2 one-way flights, we were able to find agencies selling the fares cheaper than the airline itself. (Our price of $190 includes all CC fees, but if you book on flyscoot you will be charged an additional $8 per person each way).
That said, not everyone wants to book 2 one-way flights and some people prefer to book with the airline direct - this is just another option.
I cant seem to search for Syd->HK return in iwantthatflight.com.au?
Here is the page that has flight prices for Sydney->Hong Kong

However, you should be able to enter an international search from the homepage, or our international page:

What is ScootBiz? I am guessing its for business class seats?
Where did you get the return prices from? Did you just look at the calendar and added cheapest each way legs?
Cheers
ScootBiz is a LCC business class. Basically a normal airlines premium economy seat minus the mod cons like nicer food and entertainment. I consider ScootBiz quite a good deal if you look at it for what it is, a seat almost identical to that of Cathay Pacific and Qantas premium economy, but with normal economy food and a tablet to (limited) entertainment.
As for the prices, I just did a few dummy booking using the dates mentioned above.
Wouldn't wanna fly with Scoot anymore. My flight was delayed for 12 hours back in February. All the passengers weren't informed before hand. When we got there, we found out after checking in and they told us that they will provide a lounge for us all to sleep in. If by lounge means on the airport bench, then yeah they did provide us the facility. We then queued to get a blanket(which you can get free from the airport concierge by the way), $10 maccass voucher, and a piece of paper that we need to fill our email address with(for them to send $200 voucher as an apology gesture). It doesn't sound pretty bad, except that we didn't get the $200 voucher, and there is no way to contact them(was put on hold for 30 mins on the phone and then get disconnected and there is nowhere to find their email address). Anyone else?
It was in Changi Airport btw
That doesn't mean this isn't a good deal.
You have to remember that this is a Low Cost Carrier, one of the better ones if you ask me. The fact that you were eventually given the Food voucher, blanket and offered the credit is quite good considered they are obliged to offer you nothing.
Also, with the voucher, you made it seem you rang once and gave up? A $200 voucher is almost a return trip if you go by this deal, why would you give up so quickly?
The return leg from travel.com.au is returning a $120 from SG to Sydney, but is double that when jumping to the site to book (11/Jun/2014, is one example but there are many more).
can't find any return flights around sept or october for under $500
anyone else have any luck?
Any deals from Adelaide??
Jetstar has some pretty good fares to Bali & Auckland:

Adelaide to Auckland return, from $316
http://iwantthatflight.com.au/x2adlAKL-Flights-from-Adelaide…

i go to scoot's website and enter the dates in june (travel dates) but the prices i get are much higher than the $238 (return from perth) shown in the promo.
is there some code i have to enter?
