Qantas are relaunching Perth - Singapore flights from 26th June and are having a sale to celebrate. $199 one way, $398 return.
Not sure of the travel period but after a quick search it seems there are quite a few dates available throughout the year. Flights are on Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun.
Expires 9:50pm WST/ 11:50pm AEST 28th April or until sold out.
Good times too, gets in Singapore at 5:20pm and return flight gets in Perth at 11:40pm which shouldn't be too much time if you want to transfer to SYD/BNE/MEL flight or stay in Perth.
I don't think this is cheap.
Scoot often offers Perth return Singapore for $250
Sure Qantas is a premium airline but Scoot has the brand new dream liners which have a huge improvement of the quality of air and humidity and make flying so much more enjoyable. It appears you have more legroom and the $150 odd that I save I can easily buy all the food and entertainment I want and still have change in my pocket..
Jetstar flies from Perth if you want to compare Apples with Apples, AU$307 return normal fare
If you offer me a free ticket to Singapore with any airline of my choice I would choose Scoot and forego the free food and drink.
The dream liners are that good of a plane.
I like the dreamliners, hope they have ironed out all the bugs. If you offered me a free air ticket with any safe airline i would also take it over food and drink.
I'd happily pay the extra $150 knowing my safety is in much better hands.
Scoot are subject to the same level of testing and inspections as with any other airline.
Fact that they are using a much newer airplane you could argue that the planes should have improved safety features over plans 10 years ago
Those that don't use lithium Ion batteries that is ;)
Scoot are subject to the same level of testing and inspections as with any other airline.
Scoot are subject to the same MINIMUM level of testing and inspections as with any other airline.
Shame it's been downgraded to a domestic config 737, rather than an A330 with the new business suites. :(
Darn, 737?, Dreamliner all the way thanks, Scoot was good, their 777 although old was comfortable, good leg room, can't wait to try the 787.
The relaunched QF71/72 flights are on domestic 737s unfortunately. Basically not much difference from the Jetstar PER-SIN flight now (A320), except you get food & luggage with your ticket and a red roo on your plane? I'd take a Scoot 787 any day over a 737.
Knowing Qantas, they'll probably charge full Business class fares too for what is essentially a Premium Economy product at best…
I would imagine Scoot dreamliners have less legroom than the 777s. Keep in mind their 777s were hand me downs from SQ, and I don't think they re-configured the economy seats (besides colour/design).
Ugghh, $400 returns, I consistently get $200-$250 return during the long labour day or Anzac day with Jetstar every single year, price beating either Tiger or Scoot, whatever cheapest on the day I book my tix.
You can go into food frenzy there in Sg with the $$ you save.
Sure its nice to have more leg room and possibly larger seat, but I do not find it too bad for the $$ I save.
Id live in Perth just for this reason, considering there isn't anything else to do there Ooooh burn…..
I didn't know Qantas cancelled this service. With sale fares for $400, I'm sure it'll be the roaring success it was before they left the market.
