SINGAPORE – A Singaporean family of eight could not board a Scoot flight to Macau in June when one of them was found to have a passport that was about to expire in five weeks.
The family paid a fare of about $2,500 in total for return tickets. That included $42 for Scoot’s BoardMeFirst perk, which comes with priority check-in and boarding privileges. She said: “The counter staff told us that as we bought the tickets as a group, we need to check in as a group.” Unable to get economy-class seats on the next Scoot flight scheduled to depart at 6am the next day to Hong Kong, Ms Lin paid a total of about $2,100 for seven one-way business-class tickets for the whole family except the toddler.
A message sent by Scoot on June 16 to Ms Lin and seen by The Straits Times said: “Please note that the check-in counter closes one hour prior to departure, and all passengers in the same booking need not be present at the check-in counter in order to proceed with the check-in.Scoot’s message sent on June 16 to Ms Lin.
