Scoot is similar to a Tissot watch: the materials and construction are on par with products priced at nearly double the cost, delivering excellent value for money.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is the Mercedes-Benz of commercial airplanes. You'd often pay twice as much elsewhere for a similar aircraft and level of comfort.​

Have to agree. If I fly Scoot, I always choose their 787. More spacious double aisle.

IMHO…. Airbus seem to be a better choice as compared to Bo-Eng…… especially after the management of Bo-Eng been taken over by M.D.

So many accidents especially on the 787 Max.

Pay a little more for a seat in that quiet zone behind business class. It's worth it, especially for flights to Taipei and Perth.
