Our new partnership with Virgin Australia expands our coverage of Australia yet further, so whether it’s North, South, East or West, Scoot – and Virgin – have Australia covered. So what are you waiting for? Get outta here!”

markis10. What is Scoot like ? I presume it's a LCC. I wish Virgin would start looking after its own house-keeping first before partnering up with another LCC. I'm somewhat disappointed, but will wait on the details about Scoot.

Scoot is very comfortable for the Per-syd flight in the quiet zone. All we need now is to have VA benefits

i doubt VA will be selling seats on Scoot themselves - this is for Scoot to sell connections on VA whose pax will have little expectation on housekeeping I imagine
