We just scouted these great deals to Athens, Greece. Travel in Jul/Aug 2018 for Euro Summer.

Flights are via Singapore with a quick stop in Canberra for the outbound leg only when travelling from Sydney and Brisbane. Many journeys have a long stopover in Singapore on the outbound leg. For us that means an opportunity for shopping and chilli crab at Marina Bay.

Singapore Airlines are a full service airline so meals, luggage and seat selection are included in the fare. All prices quoted are for return fares and include fees and taxes. Some payment types may incur an additional fee.

Singapore to Athens leg is operated by Scoot, the low cost carrier of the Singapore Airlines Group. Check-in baggage and hot meal will be included on this leg of the journey.

Note - All flights in journey have an SQ# flight number. This is not a Scoot product.

Below is a sample of Singapore Airlines best fares + travel dates to Athens.

Flight Scout, powered by Skyscanner, searches for the best fares on any route. Looking for something else? visit http://flightscout.co/au/ and search for your preferred destination.

Happy Scouting :)

    Mod removed my last comment for pointing out Scoot is not Singapore Airlines.

    This is still a very average deal. Scoot is a very budget airline, would be far better off spending around $1000 for Qatar/Etihad or even a Chinese airline

      Hi Stirlo,

      It is a Singapore Airlines product with 1 of the legs each way operated by Scoot who are owned by the Singapore Airlines group. You will check-in at the Singapore Airlines counter and receive lounge access between flights if you are a Frequent Flyer.

      If the below post got as much love as it did and it was only flying Scoot with no luggage or meals - then this for a similar price, with luggage and meals and half the journey on a Singapore Airlines plane must be as good a deal?

      • callum9999 on 04/02/2018 - 21:42

        It's a Singapore airlines codeshare - a VERY different thing to being a Singapore airlines product.

      • retiredfeline on 07/02/2018 - 01:20

        You should be careful with that assumption. I just got back with Scoot and noticed that the carousel showed both SQ and TR codes so a code share flight.

        What happens if there is a mishap on the Scoot/SA leg? You'll probably have to deal with Scoot and not SA. The ones who paid SA will probably get more love from their rep than the ones who paid Scoot. I wonder what the SA passengers will think of the spartan decor. Maybe they'll have been bribed with lower fares.

        I would not put together a long itinerary with a mix of distinct budget airlines, unless there is leeway for stopovers. I either go full service or stick with one carrier, then the single carrier has to get me there if one leg has a mishap. For me it's not worth it to lose a day or days from my vacation.

        There was no problem with my TR flight except arriving 12 mins late due to late take off. But I hear others have had bad luck. Dreamliner is nicer because engines are quieter. The flight was so-so and the food was blah, but they have a monopoly on the plane.

        On the flight I was thinking SQ should be the code of Sqoot Airlines, hahaha. Ah, the meanderings of a bored mind.

      I have gone to Europe via Tokyo/Seoul/Singapore and via Abu Dhabi . Never had jet lag via Asia but had it bad via Middle East. Scoot is a gift for me

  • clandestino on 04/02/2018 - 18:58

    Hi rep, is the $896 price the total cost, or are there any hidden charges, e.g. Booking fees, credit card charges etc that will bump this up?

    If so, is there any way for a customer to avoid those charges?
    Cheers

    • Store Repflightscout @ Flight Scout on 04/02/2018 - 19:01

      The price quoted is the total fare.

      As far as I'm aware Scoot still charge significant credit card fees ($20+) well in excess of the restrictions placed upon local companies (max of 1.5%) by the recently introduced Excessive Payment Surcharge laws.

      I contacted Scoot late last year about it and they said they could charge whatever they wanted as they're an overseas company and aren't beholden to Australian laws, even though they conduct business here. I contacted the ACCC who said a loophole was built into the legislation to exclude companies that do business through overseas banks.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/02/2018 - 20:36

        I'm guessing the downvote is an expression of disappointment by the Store Rep for uncovering their subterfuge.

        "The price quoted is the total fare."

        And the $15 "Merchant Surcharge"? Is that not part of the total fare?

          For clarification these flights would be booked with Singapore Airlines, Scoots booking fees are not relevant in this situation.

          The prices shown on Flight Scout are sourced from Skyscanner and are the bookable fare. Skyscanner do a lot of work with the travel agents and airlines to ensure the prices they display in search results are bookable.

    Singapore airlines is great. I would not trust Scoot. Booked a flight in September last year from Syd to Singapore. Sat at Sydney airport for 6 hours with extremely limited information. Flight departure Syd to Singapore scheduled for 12:30pm. At 6 pm told flight was cancelled. Come back tomorrow. Very poor communication in the 6 hours. Was told I could get a refund less a percentage for charges or turn up tomorrow. We decided to book with Qantas. Applied for refund. That was Sept 2017. I am still waiting 5 months later. Multiple emails and a few telephone calls to Singapore. Emails are unanswered. Telephone calls - on hold for 30 minutes plus and then get told - we are working on it. Not impressed with Scoot and would never fly with them again.

      This is a Singapore Airlines product so they will be responsible for ensuring you get there, not Scoot. If there are some problems Singapore Air would sort it out.

    Fair enough if Singapore airlines is your contact when something goes wrong. But my warning about Scoot still stand. In 6 hours, i think there were 2 announcements - "we have a technical problem". Their delayed flight policy on the website means nothing. "Scoot endeavours to notify our guests of significant delays and cancellations in a timely manner" - Really? "for delays beyond 3 hours, a SGD50 travel voucher will be yours" Really? A bottle of water at the least would be nice. A refund would be better

      This is a Singapore Airlines product with 1 leg operated by Scoot with the flight still having an SQ# flight number. Any issues would be handled by Singapore Airlines.

  • NotAnAudiophile on 04/02/2018 - 19:17

    Agree on scoot. There has been numerous horror stories reported over the past few months. Clarification needed on which airline is issuing the ticket. I would not touch scoot with a barge pole now after all the stories of passengers getting stranded.Imo scoot is a classic case of you get what you pay for.

    • Store Repflightscout @ Flight Scout on 04/02/2018 - 19:26

      The ticket can be purchased on the Singapore AIrlines site and is considered a Singapore Airlines product with part of journey operated by Scoot. All flights have an SQ# flight number so any delays or problems would be handled by Singapore Airlines.

      • robbo135 on 04/02/2018 - 19:47

        If there is a delay on the Scoot operated flights, it will be handled by Scoot (as operator) not Singapore Airlines. No different than if you booked an Emirates operated codeshare flight with Qantas.

        • Store Repflightscout @ Flight Scout on 04/02/2018 - 19:54

          @flightscout:

          Yup you're absolutely right, you will be able to contact SQ for any delays. But if you're in Athens and your return flight is delayed on the Scoot operated flight, you can contact SQ all you want but its Scoot who you are going to have to (and want to) deal with on the ground. No one from Singapore airlines or any of their reps are going to be on the ground in Athens.

          Scoot is the operating airline, SQ will just refer you back to Scoot on the ground in Athens. SQ will be ultimately responsible for any compensation/losses, but you WILL be dealing with Scoot in the first instance.

          You can keep flogging a dead horse, but the reality is, given Scoot are operating 3 of the 4 legs, you will be dealing with Scoot like it or not.

Your comments about simply calling Singapore Airlines who will deal with ANY issue is not what will happen in practice. But keep sugar coating everything, what's most important is getting that sale…

          If a flight gets delayed you can do whatever you like 'in practice'. If it was a problem for me I'd call the ticketing airline for information and if I thought it needed compensation, pursue it with them.

          The flight in question hasn't been delayed more than 50 minutes in the past 3 months.

          If these things dont suit you and you don't want to fly in a Scoot plane then we recommend you don't pursue this deal.

          @flightscout: You're getting all this pushback simply because you don't seem to understand codesharing (surprising considering you seem to run a flight finding website).

          It's irrelevant if there's a SQ code on the flight. Scoot don't have a special section for SQ passengers, you're on a LCC and will be dealing with that carrier.

          I have nothing against Scoot, but they are not equivalent to Singapore Airlines. No ifs, no buts.

          So if you buy a Jetstar operated flight which has a Qantas code on it on the Qantas website, then clearly it is a 'Qantas product' since the planes flown are in the Qantas Group?

          You are clearly misleading, it is a SQ ticketed fare not a 'SQ product', its a SQ product when all legs are operated by SQ, which in this case is only 1 out of the 4 legs.

    Haven’t you people heard of travel insurance? It doesn’t even have to be expensive.

    This is a good price for a flight to Europe during their summer and if you’re really worried about problems then get decent travel insurance. Likelihood is nothing will go wrong and you’ll have a great time. If something does go astray, use your insurance.

    I can recommend scoot. Flew to and from athens last july. Perfect flight. New clean plane. Mostly empty. Lady in athens gave us premium seats for free, for singapore and melbourne legs. No food but who cares. We bought yummy greek food at athens airport to eat on plane. If you want to waste money on premium airlines, your choice. Id rather spend the cash on the holiday…
