Hello to everyone and welcome to the last leg of my trip, flying on Singapore's newest budget carrier, Scoot. This FR will be rather short as this is a budget flight and there is not much to share about. Basically, we had cancelled our HKG-SIN sector on CX after last minute changes to go to Bangkok. Hence we decided to book this one-way flight back home, which was relatively inexpensive, about $120 with checked baggage of 25kg per person. This flight was full, which meant no chances of being able to occupy vacant seats.

Route: DMK-SIN
Depart: 20.45
Arrive: 23:55
Aircraft: B777-200ER (9V-0TD)
Arriving at Don Mueang International Airport, Bangkok
This is the former airport serving Bangkok before the current Suvarnabhumi Airport commenced operations. Currently DMK has mostly domestic flights, with only Air Asia and Scoot offering international flights within the region.

We decided to have our dinner at one of the two restaurants in the public area, this one is Silom Village, selling Thai Cuisine.

Pineapple rice which was delicious.
Thai Fish Cake, I did not like it much as it tasted rather bland.

Thank you for this report.
I didn't know Scoot had also wide-body aircrafts. Seats config was 3-4-3 ?
Nice pitch for a LCC !
Did you have free food & drink as advertised ?
Hello,
Thanks for reading. Yes the seat config was 3-4-3, sadly Scoot does not offer free food & drinks, only its partner Nok Air I guess. Everything is charged on Scoot, I remember a Coke costs $4 SGD.
Thanks for the report! I've flown with Scoot quite a few times before and indeed, it's competitive prices and wide-body aircrafts make the whole LCC experience much more bearable than other competitors. I also find it interesting that the signs and FIDS in DMK calls TZ NokScoot - an airline that actually has not commenced operations! (Scheduled for a commencement in Q1 2015)
Anyway, thanks for the report!
