Scoot carry-on allowance by fare

What to know about Scoot carry-on rules

• Scoot (Singapore) flies mostly out of SIN; Australia, China, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia are among its key markets.
• Among the 6 verified airlines from Southeast Asia, Scoot has the largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is AirAsia (56×23×36 cm).
• As a box, Scoot's 54×38×23 cm limit holds about 47.2 litres, the 37th largest volume of the 60 airlines that publish three cabin bag sides.
• With a total size of 115 cm (45.3 in), the Scoot cabin bag is larger than 14% of the 66 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag in their standard fare (rank 28 of 66, largest first).
• Scoot's 115 cm (45.3 in) total is right on the average of the 6 airlines from Southeast Asia we track (115 cm (45.3 in)).
• On Scoot, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 1.9 cm (0.7 in) too big on the length (limit: 54×38×23 cm).
• A typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) is 2 cm (0.8 in) too big on the width (and 1 other limit) when measured against Scoot's 54×38×23 cm.
• The 2 Scoot fares on this page are not equal: all 2 include a cabin bag. Weight limits vary by fare: 10 kg and 15 kg.
• Of 57 verified airlines with a published cabin weight limit, 4 allow more than Scoot's 10 kg (22 lb) for both bags together and 39 allow less.
• The 10 kg (22 lb) limit on the Economy fare of Scoot covers the personal item and the cabin bag together, not each bag.
• Besides the 54×38×23 cm sides, Scoot caps the sum of length, width and height at 115 cm.

Scoot personal item: what fits under the seat

• Every one of the 2 Scoot fares listed here also includes a cabin bag, so the personal item always comes on top of it.
• Filled as a box, Scoot's 40×30×10 cm personal item holds about 12 litres, below the median of 18 L across the 56 airlines that publish three personal item sides.
• Against the 5 airlines from Southeast Asia that publish a personal item size (average 80.2 cm in total), Scoot allows 80 cm, more than 25% of them.
• Scoot gives the personal item no weight of its own: it shares the 10 kg (22 lb) total with the cabin bag.
• Scoot's personal item (40×30×10 cm, about 12 L) holds 25% of the volume of its cabin bag (about 47.2 L).
• A soft 40 × 30 × 20 cm (15.7 × 11.8 × 7.9 in) under-seat bag is 10 cm (3.9 in) too big on the depth against Scoot's 40×30×10 cm personal item limit.
• With 80 cm in total, the Scoot personal item is bigger than 4 and smaller than 48 of the 57 verified airlines that publish a personal item size.
• Other personal item limits at the same airport: Singapore Airlines at SIN (40×30×10 cm), against 40×30×10 cm on Scoot.
