The Three Best Travel-Related April Fools' Jokes for 2012

April 2, 2012 at 11:54 AM | by | Comments (0)

3. Hipmunk's Millenium Falcon WiFi-enabled flights
Going after the little, taken-by-surprise laugh that comes from inserting easter eggs to sites, Hipmunk added the Millennium Falcon to their flight options. Do a search, and you'd see it in the results. Of course, heading off with Han Solo will cost more than with, say, a Frontier Airlines crew, but it does indicate that your space flight will be WiFi-enabled. Thank god, considering the lengthy layover in hyperspace.

This whole book-a-fake-flight thing reminds us of the Kayak stunt a couple years back, when LOST's Oceanic 815 was an actual option...if you inputted the correct flight search on their site.

Where: Singapore
March 21, 2012 at 10:58 AM | by | Comments (0)

The Scootitude is getting even more and more intense with the newest (not-so) litte budget carrier of Singapore Airlines. We have already created a lot of hype over the airline, its uniforms, launch cities, and on-board offering. Yesterday, in Singapore, the website opened for business, but not without a little lot of hoopla.

If you have been following the happenings of big yellow Boeing 777s, you will know that there has been much lead up to the introductory pricing of the inaugural flights. In unique fashion, the Facebook page tempted visitors to sign-up for more info. The carrier then challenged it's fans to get as many registrations as possible and with every registration, initial fares would decrease. The more sign-ups, the lower the fares.

Yesterday on the other side of the world, the newest little low-cost airline made a huge step toward actually taking to the skies. Singapore Airlines' budget off-shoot, Scoot, announced how they will be providing low fares to the region. The LCC has come up with creative ways of appealing to many customers while maintaining affordable fares for both short and long haul with several classes of travel.

Since "Scoot-itude" is the focus of their campaigning thus far, we can only expect the naming of other things in their service to be just as wacky. Here is a simple explanation of each of the travel classes:

Scoot Unveils Cabin Crew Uniform, One Step Closer to Flying

Where: Singapore
January 17, 2012 at 9:25 AM | by | Comments (0)

One of the most exciting low-cost carriers to come out of Singapore has taken one step closer to hitting the skies. Last week our friends over at Scoot announced the frocks their cabin crew will be sporting on their inaugural flight. As expected, the companies signature golden yellow is a feature color to make the livery part of the cabin.

Black and yellow color blocking, females get a smart shift dress with a v-neck. Properly fitting and casual is the name of the game for the ladies walking the aisles. The dress is accented with the Scoot logo on the front left side. The ladies will turn heads, ŕ la Pan Am, when walking through the airport for their Sydney launch in June.

Today We Learn Even More About Scoot, Asia's Next Budget Airline

November 3, 2011 at 12:38 PM | by | Comments (0)

So not too long ago—like yesterday—we were chatting about Singapore Airline’s newest offshoot that will be known as Scoot. Well today we got a little more information about the carrier, thanks to a tip from our buddy Will Horton over at the Wings Down Under blog—thanks again!

As you can see above, a rendering of the new paint job is already kicking around, and we have to say that it’s kind of cute. For a major carrier we’d probably have some reservations, but for a low-cost carrier it looks just right. As far as routes are concerned it sounds like the new airline will be doing its best to help out the big brother over at Singapore Airlines, and it won’t really be competing or going head-to-head on any existing routes.

Making a 'Scoot' to Singapore Will Officially Be an Option in 2012

November 2, 2011 at 12:19 PM | by | Comments (0)

We knew it was coming, and now it’s here—well, kind of. Singapore Airlines’ newest business venture—its very own low-cost carrier—has been unveiled and it’s going to be known as “Scoot.”

Scoot will be using Boeing 777s to serve the new low-cost routes, and if everything goes as planned it should be up and running by June of 2012. The airline’s base will be in Singapore—obviously—doing its thing to and from the city’s awesome Changi International Airport. The exact routes haven’t been announced just yet, but they’re planning to focus on routes between five and ten hours from the main hub. That means lots of Asia, plenty China, along with some spots in Australia.

2012 May Bring the Beginning of a Singapore 'Scoot' Airline

Where: Singapore
October 19, 2011 at 9:48 AM | by | Comments (0)

Over the summer we heard about Singapore Airlines’ plan to maybe start-up some kind of long-haul, low-cost carrier and finally the wheels have been put into motion.

It sounds like the new off-shoot airline is ready to move forward beginning next year in 2012 and the airline will utilize four Boeing 777s to start. If everything goes as planned they’ll definitely look to add more jets, as plans call for as many as 16 different planes doing their thing by the end of 2016.
