Singapore Airlines often gets the spotlight, and rightly so, having just been crowned the best airline in Asia and second-best in the world. But let’s not overlook its low-cost sibling Scoot, which is holding its own on the global stage by clinching the title of World’s Best Long Haul Low-Cost Airline at the 2025 Skytrax awards.
Best known for its wallet-friendly flights across Asia, Scoot recently added direct flights to Vienna, Austria starting from just $309. Despite its budget status, the airline doesn’t cut corners when it comes to service. Its signature ‘Scootitude’, a philosophy centred on delivering quality assistance and experiences to its customers, is at the heart of its operations.
Passengers can also opt to upgrade to ScootPlus for added comfort and convenience. Perks include increased baggage allowance, comfortable leather seats with extra legroom, priority boarding and in-flight meals — a solid choice for longer journeys.
This dedication has paid off. In addition to winning the long-haul category, Scoot also placed second in the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline rankings, just behind AirAsia. For the uninitiated, Skytrax is essentially the Oscars of the airline industry – making these accolades no small feat.
