Scoot celebrates its First Birthday with a special promotion! Sale ends 06 June 2013!
The special offer to celebrate our first birthday is valid until 1300 (GMT +10) on 06 June 2013, or until seats sell out, for travel from now to 30 September 2013.
Cheapest flight I could find leaving Sydney is 279.- plus 55.- from Singapore. Usual surcharges for bags asf are on top.
"… if I could turn back time…" sing
Yea… it was less than $160, about $15X Sydney<->Singapore Return 1 year ago…
Any one way ticket from syd to Singapore for below $150?
Best i've seen lately was $199 one way Syd->SG
I think holding out for $150 return fares from a year ago is unrealistic.
really wanna book during xmas time but prices skyrocket then sigh.
ok
I prefer Qantas at $375 return for seat bag eat!
Is it? That's gonna be worth the extra $41 to most people, especially if you want to bring any shopping home.
That includes a night in a dorm in Singapore and 15000 QFF points in that $375 return.
Is this from the expedia brazil website?
Yes, just select the accommodation option for one night and pick the backpackers in Bugis which is the cheapest option if Batam is not showing. Comes in at 750 real.
Cool, thanks. Might pick Batam hotel instead of Bugis
how did you score 15000 QFF points??
must be a platinum status
You do realise Batam is actually a ferry ride to Indonesia from Singapore right ?
Actually it is a discount economy class airfare, you would get 7816 points for syd/sin/syd normally.
Yup, I know. Batam is my hometown and I can only get home via Singapore. Still have family home there but if I could get one night free in one of the hotels then might as well, he he :)
Its cheaper to take the night and not use it than to book outright.
Correct, in fact its closer to 18000 as I route via Syd from Brisbane

I booked one with expedia br last month and did not know about the free accommodation. Are you sure that the price wouldn't be lower if you don't add the accommodation?
Its R828 with no hotel, as they charge a large booking fee that gets taken away if accommodation is booked.
how to get Qantas at $375 return ?
Go to Expedia.com.br, use Chrome to translate, pick dates (school holidays are gone) and also ask for a hotel for one night), using the batam hotels or bugis backpackers you should get a total 768 Real.
768.00 BRL = 378.331 AUD

Found the answer..
Select airfare + hotel on first page before searching, the Voo + Hotel options, then select the
"Preciso de um hotel para apenas parte de minha viagem" checkbox and enter one night for dates, you will also need to change adults to 1 if solo.
thanks, I just found it.
Exactly the way to go.
Full service, full bags, full points.
Plenty of avail when I checked yesterday.
How do you get the free return flight?
There are $199 flights from OOL but I can't see any returns for $0.
Is there a promo code or something you need to enter?
It's free flight, but pay taxes of about $55. Hence they have called it a "Fee" flight.
It's automatically applied when you search for a return flight
I searched all of July, Aug, Sep and the cheapest price for the return Journey is $190.
Thought I must have been missing something, not much of a sale if there are no flights.
Maybe you didn't click from the link? because I could see all return flights are $55 on my flight search
Yeah, click the ad on the main page. I checked some flights in the first week of Sept and also some in July and they were all fees onyl on the way back.
OK, I had a lok at Sydney and can see the cheap returns, but there is nothing from Coolangatta.
It didn't say anything in the email that it was only Sydney so I was assuming it was for OOL as well.
"for round trip travel in Economy class out of Sydney to Singapore only, from now to 30 September 2013."
Down the bottom of the email.
Everytime I check flights out of OOL it always tells me there aren't any!
Would they stop you if you wear a jacket with lots and lots of pockets?
I once came home with oversized luggage. Wore a trenchcoat onto the plain with shoes in the pockets.

some ideas of workaround but i not sure if it's valid…
SIN to SYD = from S$176 average, return flight $0
let say you want to depart on June 26 from SYD and return on July 23rd from SG,
make 2 return bookings on the dates from SIN to SYD, make sure 2 of the 4 dates booked coincides with the dates you want to travel. purposely miss the days which you are not going to travel. This could save you some $$$ as oppose to book return flights from SYD to SG.
I think you'll find that if you don't show up for the first leg of your itinerary (ie the first SIN-SYD segment) the remainder of the itinerary will be cancelled, as is standard practice in the industry.
^^^ THIS
Check fare rules to be 100% sure, but 99% of the time on a return ticket it's miss 1st leg, lose the lot.
Well Air Asia dont apply then because i just missed my flight Clark To Kuala Lumpur but i have already checked in online for the return leg.
Great advice. It's good to go for the bargains, but it can backfire if you don't know the rules you are playing with.
Still prefer it's 0 birthday sale, we payed that amount for both of us return!
