Recent Traveller Feedback
Booked the cheapest Fly fare from Singapore to Bangkok thinking I could get away with just my carry-on, but I ended up buying 20 kg of checked baggage at the airport for 60 SGD. Next time I will book FlyBag in advance because it works out cheaper and you know exactly what you are getting.
60 SGD
Scoot is really strict about the 10 kg combined carry-on limit. I had a cabin bag of 8 kg plus a personal item of 3 kg and they weighed both together at the gate. I had to repack and move some things into my checked bag before they let me board. The personal item is only 40 x 30 x 10 cm so it is quite small compared to other airlines.
Travelled ScootPlus from Kuala Lumpur to Taipei and really appreciated the 15 kg combined hand luggage allowance. I travel with a lot of camera equipment and the extra 5 kg compared to economy makes a huge difference. You still get two pieces, one cabin bag and one personal item, just with a higher total weight limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How strict is Scoot with carry-on weight and size?
Every Scoot passenger gets two pieces of hand luggage, one cabin bag and one personal item, with a combined weight limit of 10 kg in economy.
The cabin bag must measure no more than 54 x 38 x 23 cm and the personal item is limited to 40 x 30 x 10 cm to fit under the seat.
Scoot is known to be strict and weighs both bags together at the boarding gate, so staying within the 10 kg total is important.
What is the difference between Fly, FlyBag and FlyBagEat fares?
The Fly fare is the cheapest option and includes only hand luggage with no free checked baggage at all.
FlyBag adds 20 kg of checked baggage to the same cabin allowance and is the most popular fare for travellers with a suitcase.
FlyBagEat gives you 25 kg of checked baggage plus a complimentary meal on board, which is good value for longer flights.
How much baggage do you get with ScootPlus?
ScootPlus is the premium cabin and includes 30 kg of checked baggage, which is 10 kg more than the standard FlyBag fare.
In the cabin you still get two pieces of hand luggage but the combined weight limit goes up from 10 kg to 15 kg.
ScootPlus passengers also enjoy wider seats, priority boarding and extra legroom on most aircraft.
How big can the personal item be on Scoot flights?
The Scoot personal item or under-seat bag must not exceed 40 x 30 x 10 cm, which is smaller than on many other airlines.
Typical items that fit include a small handbag, laptop sleeve or compact backpack that slides easily under the seat in front.
The weight of the personal item counts towards your total 10 kg combined cabin allowance together with the main carry-on bag.
What is the maximum size for a checked suitcase on Scoot?
Every checked bag on Scoot must stay within 158 cm when you add length, width and height together, which is the standard international limit.
No single piece of checked luggage can weigh more than 32 kg for safety and handling reasons.
If your bag is heavier than your pre-booked allowance you pay an excess weight fee per kilogram at the airport.
