Adult fares will apply if you purchase a seat for your infant.}

If you are travelling with an infant and departing from Singapore, you can bring on board sufficient quantity of expressed breast milk or baby food you need to nurse your infant for the entire journey. The combined weight of the expressed breast milk or baby food will be counted towards your cabin baggage allowance for your class of travel. Guests bringing expressed breast milk or baby food on board should note that our crew will not be able to re-heat or chill it due to hygiene reasons. Carriage of expressed breast milk or baby food is subject to declaration and security checks at the security screening area, prior to boarding the aircraft.

If your flight itinerary has transit connections or you are departing from other countries, please check with the respective authorities on requirements regarding breast milk or baby food.

Please refer to Scoot’s Conditions of Carriage for mandatory prior arrangements for Unaccompanied Minors.

If your Unaccompanied Minor’s itinerary includes flights operated by airlines other than Scoot or Singapore Airlines, you will need to contact the operating airline(s) for clarification of their policy on Unaccompanied Minors, as different airlines will have different policies for passengers under 18 years old and travelling alone.

The parent or legal guardian of an Unaccompanied Minor may waive the Unaccompanied Minor Service, where our staff will provide assistance to the Unaccompanied Minor on the ground and during the journey, by completing and submitting an Unaccompanied Minor Service Waiver Form to Scoot.

Scoot may, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, or on the occurrence of any of the reasons, including but not limited to those set out below, (i) refuse to transport an Unaccompanied Minor; and/or (ii) remove an Unaccompanied Minor from a flight even if the Unaccompanied Minor has already boarded:

• If an incomplete Unaccompanied Minor Service Request Form or Unaccompanied Minor Service Waiver Form is submitted to us or, an original of the completed and submitted form is not produced at check-in, at the transfer point between connecting flights, at the gate or, when reasonably requested.
• If there is any discrepancy in the information contained in the completed and submitted Unaccompanied Minor Service Request Form or Unaccompanied Minor Service Waiver Form (as the case may be) against the Unaccompanied Minor’s travel documentation.
