So i booked my flight from Sydney to Singapore via Scoot Airlines in June. This was a one way ticket, which was scheduled for departure on 17 July.
In case you’re interested, exact details of this flight:
Flight No.: SQ 8122
Departure 17 July 2019
Singapore Airlines Aircraft: Boeing 777-200
SYDNEY (SYD) to SINGAPORE (SGD)
Now two weeks before my flight, Scoot Airlines sent an email saying that my Scoot aircraft had been changed to a Singapore Airlines Carrier; Scoot Airlines had engaged with Singapore Airlines to charter their TR 3 Sydney – Singapore flight because there was tighter aircraft utilization across Scoot’s network. I was pretty stoked, because i’d paid $285 for a Scoot Economy Seat, but now could enjoy a Singapore Airlines product! (i checked prices – one way from Sydney to Singapore on Singapore Airlines that day was ~$550 AUD)
For some reason, (and i still dont know why), when i checked in at the Scoot check in kiosk back at Sydney International Airport, (i wasn;t able to online check in) the lady at the counter handed me a Singapore Airlines Business Class Ticket. I didn’t book Scoot Biz, (Scoot Business Class), nor did i try to bid for Scoot Biz. I dont even have a Kris Flyer Membership, so i really don’t know how this happened. So i can really only put this upgrade down as a mistake…
See I had never been in business class on Singapore Airlines before , so consider this a review video of that. It may be a bit biased because i was so excited; i’d been randomly bumped from a Budget Airline’s Economy class to now the business class in one of the world’s best airlines!
Hope you enjoy the video 🙂
MISTAKE UPGRADE from SCOOT AIRLINES ECONOMY to SINGAPORE AIRLINES BUSINESS CLASS (B777-200)
If you read til the end of the description, i just want to say…while i was editing, i noticed how messy my hair was at 5:19…and let me say i was kinda embarassed lol. i was running across the airport like a mad woman because i wanted to have some time in the lounge to film and so… i looked like a mess hahaha.
that’s all i wanted to say – hope you enjoyed the vid!

Have you ever been upgraded on a flight? This is the only time it's ever happened to me and i honestly don't even know how it happened. Let me know if you have any TIPS on how to get upgraded!
Uh, am hoping to get bump up to SQ business class as well. Also purchased Scoot economy with meal, baggage and seat. Finger cross, 3 more weeks to fly.
How did you get a return flight for $200+ omgg
single flyer gets bump up easier than others
Whoo, business class, I wouldn't question, just enjoy
Wow lucky you! But buying top economy fare on Scoot is the equivalent to SG's premium econ or business . They changed the aircraft and airline so you were fortunate
And I love how you've mastered the Aussie accent so well LOL!
you so luckee.
8 and a half hours, I didn't realize Sydney was so far from SEA
plasic fork ? reellllly business? looks like eco premium
Hi Janice, i am a Singaporean and please trust me that Singapore Airlines did your upgrading on purpose. It could be the idea of our Singapore Tourism Board due to your vlogs in Singapore. Anyway, you're always welcome to Singapore.
My idea is this: you paid for a seat on the Scoot plane. 13C is economy on Scoot's aircraft, but 13C (well, really 14 since there is no 13 on their 777's) on Singapore Airlines is a business class seat? So, even though you didn't buy a business seat, you paid for that specific seat and that's why they gave you an upgrade? That's what's going through my head.
The upgrade was probably the voucher
The food service was economy class but that was a nice seat to have for 8 hours. What a deal for $284.
After watching your video, I really miss walking down the aisle.Still it was a good deal! Thank you for sharing, take care
I am so excited for you too, so nice to be upgraded, FREE.
The older 777 is actually safer to fly on. Nothing else matter 😊, safety first.
U have luck of a 👸
Do you ever go to Taiwan?
I flew premium economy with Singapore air from Newark airport to Changi. Seats aren't better than business class; flat down bed; but foods served during the fly about the same.
the foods look sad
Moving someone to an open business class seat allows them to sell another economy class seat…
(Not familar with Scoot, but if they normally only sell economy class, they might need to move some people to business class to fit everyone in the plan…) (And any extra passenger, even at low cost, tend to make more sense than an empty seat… As long as the extra cost for the passenger is less than their ticket price, it reduces the loss…)
Because you're famous.
Wow very old seats. These old planes are disapearring
Nearly if not all airlines overbook their most desirable flights (because there are always people changing their flights or cancelling). Generally airlines upgrade passengers based on status… higher the status, the more likely you'll get upgraded… then it'll be whether you're travelling alone (more likely to get upgraded traveling alone). So most likely not a mistake… If the whole scoot flight got switched to Singapore… more likely than not, no one on the flight have any status… so you were just randomly picked. Tell tell signs of this happening to you, is if you don't get lounge access and sometimes no food
Janice you only wanted the first class food 😂 I think you got the first class ticket from the mandela effect, another version of you from a parallel universe did purchase a fist class ticket and you swapped bodies with your interdimensional counterpart, that's why you ended up with first class 😁
This mandela effect thing by the way is real, I've seen to many impossible changes to reality. Movie lines different,dead celebrities suddenly alive again or recently died again,human anatomy changes,songs different, Freddy Mercury we are the champions OF THE WORLD now missing, the monopoly guys monocle is missing, plus thousands more impossible changes. With every mandela effect change, history says it's always been that way, despite many of us VIVID memories it wasn't 🥴
I’m 2 years late with the comment but I’ve just watched this video for the first time 😉 I think the main reason for the upgrade is that Scoot economy seat 13C which you paid for is a business class seat on Singapore Airlines aircraft as their business class cabin has a lot more rows.

I booked a tick thru Flight Centre and filter by Singapore Airline only, but I only found out after I made payments that I actually booked Singapore Airline OPERATED BY SCOOT for return!!! WTH
Yes I've been staying this. I'm 20 years old and live at home with three streams of income I'm working toward 2.5k, I have a week left to withdrawals.determination is highly needed in trading because only a brave heart is determined to take the risky involved in making great profit
Hi Janice. Why bother questioning why you got business class seat. Great you enjoyed. It's their mistakes and your gain. Well done.
I think this is a Scam, between Scoot and Singapore, is vey rare how this Airlane Operate, nothing is clear regarding these two 👎👎👎👎👎
This is only happended to youtubers i saw in many videos. me and my friends fly with scoot with krish flyer member ship many years but we don't have any small upgrade even to premium economy.
