Scoot again giving away Europe flights

[BNEA320]

AUD$339 PER/ATH + few dollars for bag & meals. Guess no one wants to fly those dodgy arab airlines anymore, since it was revealed they contribute to terrorist funding.

Since when was Scoot a "dodgy arab airline"? And if it is not, why are they giving away flights if they are doing well vs. their competitions? :ugh:

Gee, folks, I didn't know Singapore was an Arab country, I guess Singapore Girl will have to start wearing head to toe black burkas.
Tootle pip!!

Gosh I hope not LeadSled, how will we be able to truly enjoy the sights of Singapore if they cover up some of the best ones ;)

[YouKnow.Whatever]

I blame the recession.

Have a re-read of the original post!
It seems pretty clear to me what he's saying is that because nobody wants to fly those "dodgy arab airlines", Scoot is now going to step in.
He's obviously referring to Qatar et al.

If that was the case they wouldn't be so cheap
Bnea320 smokin it again

And yeah I agree must be the recession we are in
:rolleyes:

Eh the only reason scoot is dropping prices and depressing yield is because "no one wants to fly" scoot

yeah let's look at recession early effects

1) property market is stuffed & will be for years. Builders/developers/speculators going belly up, left right & centre, which means building workers/traddies not getting paid

2) retail is stuffed, with many gone already & everyone left, trying to give stuff away

3) travel is in trouble. Long haul suffering the most. It's cheaper to go to USA than Queenstown. The arab airlines will suffer big time, as now linked to terror & other carriers discount like crazy to try & fill seats.

With costs at home rising, people will still want to go on holidays, so maybe they will go domestic/short haul (ie cheap) &/or for less time.

Going to be interesting.

At least the VA pilot shortage might be solved overnight, as ME carriers shed pilots & they return home.

I wonder which village gave it's idiot access to the library computer.
