Low-cost Singapore-based airline Scoot has launched its four-times-weekly non-stop Singapore – Berlin services, its third long-haul destination.
The capital city of Germany is Scoot’s third long-haul destination after Athens in Greece and Honolulu in the United States, both of which were launched last year.
The airline, Asia/Pacific’s Best Low-Cost Airline for four consecutive years and the low-cost arm of the Singapore Airlines (SIA) group, operates a widebody Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the route, which departs Singapore at 12.25 am on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, arriving at 7.20 am the same day. The service departs Berlin at 9.40 am on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays and arrives in the Lion City at 3.45 am the next day.

“With the addition of Berlin just a year after we successfully launched Athens, and then Honolulu, Scoot’s low-cost long-haul network continues to grow at a steady pace,” says Scoot CEO Lee Lik Hsin. “Vibrant, creative, and steeped in history, we are confident that the city of Berlin will appeal to any market or demographic, and open a new and exciting part of the continent for travellers.”
Scoot’s spacious and comfortable state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliners offer several amenities and services suited to long-haul travel, such as in-flight Wi-Fi, in-seat power and inflight ScooTV entertainment streamed to guests’ own devices. Guests can also choose from a full-leather ScootBiz seat with a 38-inch pitch, 30kg checked-in baggage, and meals and drinks included, or enjoy a peaceful journey in the ScootinSilence economy class quiet zone with seat pitches ranging from 31-inches up to 35-inches.
