In July, I happily booked my November holiday to Taipei - and my airline of choice? Scoot.
All was fine until August came, and I received this email notification that freaked me out.
Was my flight getting cancelled?!
I took a deep breath. “Please let it just be a rescheduled timing,” I told myself.
Turns out, it was just a notification that Scoot was going to be operating from Changi Airport Terminal 1 from end October. Chey.
Smart-traveller-me took a mental note, registered it in my brain, and moved on with my life.
A month later, I received the same email again and panicked because I thought my flight really got cancelled this time.
But no, it was the same email telling me about Scoot’s move to Terminal 1.
Okay Scoot, I get it, you’re moving to Terminal 1 on Oct. 22, 2019. No need to send two emails about it.
BUT NO. They just had to send me two more identical emails in October. Kiasu-ness at its finest - I get the message, Scoot.
Now I’ll never forget that you’re at Terminal 1.
Since I’ve read the same email 4 times, here are the main details of the move:
All Scoot flights are now departing and arriving at Terminal 1, and check-in counters will be at rows 5 to 7.
There will also be more self-service check-in kiosk and automated bag-drop facilities available.
Scoot's new home at T1 is also directly linked to Jewel. For the shopaholics - you can also do an early check-in at Jewel, up to 18 hours before your flight, if you are travelling on Scoot.
To make sure customers are aware of the move, they have updated on-board announcements since Oct. 1, 2019, and posted this information (multiple times) on their social media channels. They even have a pop-up notification on their mobile app.
On the day of the move, they also deployed additional staff at both Terminals 1 and 2, just to make sure, you know, people don't go to the wrong terminal.
Peak kiasu.
Here is some pictorial evidence of Scoot being very kiasu, and worried that people will go to the wrong terminal and miss their flight:
To be honest, I’d rather receive multiple email notifications about the move than to have none at all.
Now the fact that Scoot is at Terminal 1 will forever be embedded in the depths of my brain.
