When planning your trip with Scoot, one of the most important factors to consider is their baggage policy. Understanding the rules and costs associated with checked and cabin baggage can save you time, money, and stress at the airport. Let's delve into Scoot's baggage policy to help you pack like a pro.
Scoot, a Singapore-based low-cost carrier, offers competitive fares with a 'Fly Bagless' option that allows you to bring only one piece of cabin baggage for free. However, if you have more to carry, you can purchase additional baggage online or at the airport. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate Scoot's baggage policy.
Checked Baggage
Checked baggage, also known as hold luggage, refers to any baggage you check in at the airport and which is transported in the aircraft's hold. Scoot offers two checked baggage options: Saver and Value.
Scoot's Saver Baggage allows you to check-in one piece of baggage weighing up to 20kg, while the Value Baggage option increases the weight limit to 30kg. You can opt for these options during the booking process, or add them to your booking later.
Saver Baggage
Scoot's Saver Baggage is an affordable option if you only need to check-in one bag. The weight limit is 20kg, which should suffice for most travelers. This option is best for those who pack lightly or have light-duty luggage.
One thing to note is that if you need to check-in more than one bag, you'll have to purchase additional baggage or opt for the Value Baggage, as Saver Baggage only allows for one piece of checked baggage per booking.
Value Baggage
For those who need a little more room, Scoot's Value Baggage is a great option. This option allows you to check-in one piece of baggage weighing up to 30kg. It's perfect for travelers who need to bring more items, or who have heavier luggage.
Like the Saver Baggage, Value Baggage also allows for one piece of checked baggage per booking. If you need to check-in more, you'll have to buy additional baggage.
Cabin Baggage
Cabin baggage, or hand luggage, is the baggage you carry onto the plane with you. Scoot allows for one piece of cabin baggage for free, regardless of the fare type, as long as it complies with the size and weight limits.
However, if you need to bring more cabin baggage, you can purchase extra baggage online or at the airport. Scoot also offers a 'FlyBag' bundle that includes additional checked and cabin baggage, giving you more flexibility and savings.
Size and Weight Limits
Cabin baggage should not exceed the following dimensions: 50cm (length) x 35cm (width) x 25cm (height), including handles, wheels, and pockets. The total weight should not exceed 10kg for Scoot's free cabin baggage allowance.
If your cabin baggage exceeds these dimensions or weight, you'll be required to check it in as hold luggage, and you'll be charged the excess baggage fee at the airport.
Carry-On Bundles
For those who need more cabin baggage, Scoot offers Carry-On Bundles. These bundles allow you to bring an extra piece of cabin baggage, weighing up to 15kg. You can purchase these bundles online during the booking process or add them to your booking later.
Scoot also offers a 'FlyBag' bundle that includes one additional piece of checked baggage (20kg) and one additional piece of cabin baggage (15kg), providing more flexibility and savings for those who need to bring more items.
Now that you're well-versed with Scoot's baggage policy, you're ready to pack like a pro and make the most out of your travel experience. Happy travels!
