  • Scoot does not accept Group booking (‘G’ fare class) via GDS – Refer Scoot’s Group Bookings Guide.

Connecting Flights

  • Through check-in is available only for connecting flights. Flights must be booked as Origin and Destination in one command to be tagged as a connecting flight.

  • TR SOLD IN CNX WITH MUST BE CXL TOGETHER will be returned to indicate the flight as a connection.

    E.g:

    • TR 659 SOLD IN CNX WITH  288 MUST BE CXL TOGETHER              

    • TR 288 SOLD IN CNX WITH  659 MUST BE CXL TOGETHER               

  • Connecting flights must be cancelled together. If there is a change on one segment, the entire connecting flight must be cancelled and rebooked.

  • Scoot does not allow mix cabin class for connecting flights.

E.g.: SYD-SIN (ScootPlus), SIN-HKT (Economy).

 


Passenger Details

  • Please ensure that all passengers’ names have a title.
  • Passenger titles accepted are: MR / MRS / MS / MDM / MISS / MSTR.
  • Date of birth for pax is mandatory.
  • Passport details are required.

  • Adult

    Adult titles are MR (male), MRS and MS (female).

    If a party has two passengers with the same name, differentiate them (e.g. adding different title or middle initial), as booking will be rejected if this occurs. If the passenger's names are the same and unable to differentiate them based on title or middle initial, agent has to interchange the second passenger's given name and surname

              E.g.: Jamal Tan, Jamal Tan
              First passenger : 1TAN/JAMAL MR

              Second passenger: 1JAMAL/TAN MR

    For a passenger with compound names, remove the spaces if the name is listed as first name in the passport.

    E.g.: James Robert Bryce-Buchanan should be listed as 1BRYCEBUCHANAN/JAMESROBERT MR

    If the name Robert is listed as a middle name in the passport, it should be listed as 1BRYCEBUCHANAN/JAMES ROBERT MR

      For passenger with single name, indicate FNU if first name is unknown or LNU if last name is unknown

    E.g.: Last Name : Aminah    First Name : Unknown
    1AMINAH/FNU MS

    E.g: Last Name: Unknown   First name: Aminah
    1LNU/AMINAH MS

      For passenger with single initial as the given name or surname, combine first and last name together as surname and use the title as the first name

    E.g.:Jacob/A Mr, B/John Mr
    1JACOBAMR
    1BJOHN/MR

      Scoot supports maximum 32 characters in each name field (first name & last name). If passenger’s name exceeds this limit, agent must split the names up between the available fields accordingly.

     

    Child

    Child titles are MSTR (male) and MISS (female).

    Child can be booked up to eleven (11) years of age.

    SSR CHLD must be included for the pax to qualify as a child passenger.

    Scoot does not allow Unaccompanied Minors (UNMR) to be sold in GDS. Agents must log into SkyAgent to book for UNMR.

    Unaccompanied Minors below 18 years old are subjected to Scoot’s
    Conditions of Carriage.

    Scoot does not authorize uplifting of a child above twelve (12) years of age using child tickets. If a child passenger turns twelve (12) years old on the return flight, agents are advised to cancel return flight and book a new PNR for the return flight reflecting the correct passenger type.

     

    Infant

    INFT titles are MSTR (male) and MISS (female).

    Infants must be less than two (2) years of age at date of flight departure.

    Infants can be booked using the SSR INFT entry and must always be associated to an Adult passenger. INFT should also be ticketed.

    Scoot does not authorize uplifting of a child using infant tickets. If an infant passenger turns two (2) years old on the return flight, agent must book the return flight on a separate PNR with the correct passenger type.

    Infant with Seat is not supported.

    If the Infant SSR cap is reached, request will be rejected. Agent must wait for confirmed (‘HK’) status returned for INFT before ticket issuance.

     


    Contact Details

    Scoot requires contact details to be included, at point of booking, to allow the airline a means to contact passenger/agent in the event of a disruption or delay. To add mobile number and email address, use SSR CTCM and SSR CTCE format respectively.  

    Refer to table below for GDS key entry formats:

    • Enter phone format as country dialling code first, then mobile/ cell number with leading zero removed. E.g.: If mobile number is 92291111 with Singapore country code +65, enter as 6592291111.

    • Always include city code, where applicable, when indicating phone number.

    • When entering an email address use // in place of @, and .. in place of _

      E.g.: EMAIL..ADDRESS//AGENT.COM = EMAIL_ADDRESS@AGENT.COM

    • Use the applicable carrier code in the key entry, i.e. TR.

    • Entries can be passenger-associated (e.g. P1, N1, -1.1).

    • OSI CTCM and OSI CTCE formats are also supported.

    • Should passenger wish to opt out from being contacted, kindly send SSR CTCR with agent contact details in OSI CTCM format.

    • Recommended:

      • Agent who initially booked the flight should be the only one updating the PNR. Changing IATA organization could cause a possible reprice. Agent should check with airline to verify no reprice has occurred.

     


    Email Itinerary Request

    Applicable to pure TR on 668 and 618 tickets

    Scoot does not support the sending of itineraries for bookings created via GDS. Itinerary can only be generated by travel agents via GDS.

    • Bookings can be made up until 4 hours prior to departure (subject to markets).

    • The hold applicable to the first sector governs the entire booking.
