Scoot, the low-cost, long-haul subsidiary of the Singapore Airlines Group, is launching Hawaii service next month with a promotional one-way fare of $80 from Honolulu to Osaka, Japan, and a $200 one-way fare from Honolulu to Singapore.
Travel for those fares must be between Dec. 19 and 25.
For travel between Jan. 1 and May 31, Scoot will offer a promotional rate of $150 one way to Osaka and $250 one way to Singapore. Travel for either promotion can be booked now through Nov. 28 at www.flyscoot.com.
The 5-year-old budget airline will operate four times a week to Singapore with a stopover in Osaka on a 329-seat twin-aisled Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Scoot’s inaugural flight lands in Honolulu on Dec. 19.
Scoot’s Honolulu flights to Osaka will be Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday with the Osaka-Singapore leg on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
Scoot will be the first airline to serve Hawaii from that country since Singapore Airlines canceled its Singapore-Taipei-Honolulu-Los Angeles route on July 31, 1992.
