Amounts expressed in local currencies during the bidding process are for informative purposes only and represent a rounded estimate of the equivalent in SGD shown in the summary.

You agree that your request remains open for acceptance by the Airline at any time up to the moment of decision that is communicated to you at the time your request is made. The moment of decision takes place approximately 20 hours before scheduled departure. You may revise or cancel your request as long as your request has not already been accepted by the Airline.

In the event the Airline cancels a flight and re-accommodates you on to another flight, any request you made in relation to the original booking may be transferred to the new flight(s) subject always to availability. If, for any reason, the service isn't available in the new flight to fulfill your request (only where your original request has been accepted), any amounts paid by you will be refunded to the credit card that was used to pay for the Bid for ScootPlus service.

If your booking is transferred to a flight operated by an airline other than Scoot the Airline cannot guarantee the service you requested. In this case any amounts paid by you for the Bid for ScootPlus service will be refunded to the credit card that was used to pay for the same service. There will be no refunds, credits, or exchanges once your request has been accepted by the Airline, except under the following conditions:

  • The flight for which your request was accepted was cancelled.
  • The flight for which your request was accepted was cancelled, and the Airline re-accommodated you on another flight but without offering you the service.

Should refunds be accepted, they will be processed in the currency in which the service was charged. If a foreign exchange rate must be applied in order to complete the refund in the currency of the originally charged amount, a generally accepted prevailing rate will be used. This rate may be adjusted to account for conversion and other charges that the Airline may levy. In no respect shall the amount refunded be more than the amount charged in the original currency for the service.

You may apply for a refund provided that the conditions for which refunds are given as described in these terms and conditions have been satisfied. You hereby agree that to claim a refund, you will present the (i) boarding pass for the flight in question at the time you request the refund, and (ii) email notifying you that you have been granted the Bid for ScootPlus service, and you shall contact the Airline through Contact us page within 3 months of the flight departure for which such dispute is being raised.
