Blueray Hypersonic December 20, 2018 Share December 20, 2018 Going on scoot to BKK in January. Hope no delays... BKK is nearby so no worries. Athens is like 13 hours away, even if they want to fly a spare plane there its 13 hours. Anyways, travel insurance will be useful. Bought travel insurance from Etiqa on my last trip as their flight delay is defined as 3 hours. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually all also no worries as long as you can extend leave la. And 2 days delay is much better than a 12 hour delay cuz you can't do anything for the shorter duration (probably still wait at the airport or nearby hotel).

Wt_know Hypersonic December 21, 2018 Share December 21, 2018 (edited) 2 days delay is not told upfront that you can do something hor 2 days delay is prolong delay up and down the plane for 3 times ... the 2 days either stay in airport or in-out airport the tulan-ess is to the Max!

I'd rather be delayed... agreed. i am responding to Kusje that 2 days delay was not better than 12hrs delay because the 2 days “prolong” torture was worst unless arline tell me ... you are rescheduled to fly out in 2 days go check in airport hotel and have a hot bath then go out city tour ...

Oh yeah lah. delays suck any which way. But sometimes LL. Full service get delayed also sometimes hard for a prompt recovery. More importantly, is don't be like Lion Air... Plane got taichi but keep on flying. Edited December 21, 2018 by Lala81 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case Scoot does not appear to be handling the logistics and co-ordination well, so actually a lot of time wasted, me thinks. Longest delay I have encountered was 1.5 hours for an SQ flight out of HK. Announced upfront at check in and HK$60 voucher given as compensation, so I go and eat wanton mee lor .. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic December 21, 2018 Share December 21, 2018 Well................. It's a calculated risk when taking budget airline .... You booked for this plane, you LL wait for the plane to be repaired cos they don't have spare planes. When one book SIA plane and if the plane have any problem, SIA will sent a reserve plane. At most delayed for 1 day. Furthermore, it festive season for travelling and as Scoot parent owner is SIA and Scoot passengers could have been offered a seat in SIA plane returning to SG. Maybe all SIA flights are full. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Hypersonic December 21, 2018 Share December 21, 2018 (edited) btw, i always avoid to travel from 2nd week of dec onwards till new year especially to usa and europe ... sekali kena snow storm ... all flights delay and the backlog to clear is several days to weeks dec is the most peak for flying where all airlines are full and near max capacity with no room for errors or any delays Well.................

Heartlander Turbocharged December 21, 2018 Share December 21, 2018 Reading through the frequent flight delay experieinces, I only wonder how the airline is able to be profitable with the extra costs incurred to provide hotel stay and food. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Hypersonic December 21, 2018 Share December 21, 2018 (edited) which means on good days ... they are making good profit just like high glass boutique don't have customer come in to buy everyday like NTUC but when they sell ... the profit margin is gao gao scoot charges $20 for online booking ... before fly they must make the $20 booking fees first from the tix now even full cost airline like SQ charge for choosing seat when boooking Reading through the frequent flight delay experieinces, I only wonder how the airline is able to be profitable with the extra costs incurred to provide hotel stay and food.

Have you ever wonder why the weight of your luggage recorded on the weighing scale at home is different at the check-in counter ???? Its US$100/- per kilo of extra weight.... . Some passengers just pay the US$100/- then to remove some items from the bag... Just returned from oversea. I weight at home and reading that I have 3 kilo to spare. But on reaching the check-in counter, my luggage overweight by 1 kilo ... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
