Plus, being in the forward section of the aircraft means early disembarkation, letting you start your journey sooner and with ease.

Touch down in Bangkok, where neon-lit night markets like Ratchada sizzle with skewers and som tam, or dive into its electric nightlife. In Melbourne, laneways burst with street art, cafes serve world-class coffee, and music festivals keep the city alive.

And in Tianjin, where colonial charm meets modern energy, you can explore the Five Great Avenues, Nanshi Food Street and Hai River promenades with ease.

Whether you’re landing in Seoul, Tokyo or Athens, extra space makes all the difference before diving into some of the world’s best shopping. In South Korea’s capital, browse through Myeongdong and Gangnam’s latest trends or uncover indie gems in Ikseon-Dong and Seongsu-Dong.

When in Tokyo, shop high-end boutiques in Omotesando or hunt for eclectic treasures at the Shibuya Romantic Flea Market.

And in Athens, pack more from the grand avenues of Kolonaki showcasing both international designer labels and bespoke Greek linen and handcrafted leather or Plaka’s stalls selling Cypriot trinkets and artisan jewellery. With ScootPlus, there’s room for it all.

Stretch Seats: More room to prep for adventure

When heading to destinations best explored on foot – like Jeju or Lombok – comfort on the journey there matters just as much as the adventure ahead.

Scoot’s Stretch Seats offer a generous seat pitch, extra legroom and ample space to stretch out, ensuring you arrive refreshed and ready to explore.

The seat pitch varies based on the type of aircraft: between 34- to 48-inches on the B787 Dreamliner; between 33- to 58-inches on the A320 family; and between 39- to 55-inches on the Embraer E190-E2.

For travellers to trek through Lombok's Mount Rinjani, the second highest volcano in Indonesia, a good rest during the flight makes for a good start. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES

Step off the plane in Lombok, where serene beaches, hidden waterfalls and traditional Sasak villages await. A restful flight means you can take in Mount Rinjani’s scenic treks or unwind on deserted white-sand shores without missing a beat.

Over in Jeju, where volcanic landscapes meet rich cultural heritage, a comfortable journey lets you dive straight into Hallasan’s hiking trails, the Manjanggul Lava Tube and bustling local markets where you can savour traditional food like black pork and tangerines.

With Stretch Seats, you can sit back, relax and land fully charged for wherever your adventure takes you.
