Melburnians will be able to fly direct from Melbourne to Singapore for less than $300 when Scoot Airlines launches its new Tullamarine-to-Singapore service in November next year.
Scoot, a low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines founded in 2011, plans to run five flights a week, with a one-way trip costing $229 and a return priced at $460.
The carrier has managed to significantly undercut the market by modifying its planes to have less space between seats, so more passengers can be packed on board.
It also keeps its aircraft in the air for longer by flying at unsociable times. The Melbourne-to-Singapore flight will leave at 12.30pm and arrive at 5.30pm, while the Singapore-to-Melbourne leg departs Singapore after midnight and arrives in Melbourne at 11.20am.
