Stillwater Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Scoot has reactivated international services just for us, with one of their Dreamliners ready for boarding at Broome. Here we go. Along Cable Beach ... ... and over the sea. The innertropical convergence zone always has some thunderstorms on the menu... ... as we reach Bali. Descending over Pulau Bintan. Vector data are fine, the landclass is default and FTX Global Base. Kampung Baru. Could be northern Europe as well... On final into my favourite East Asian hub, ... ... you know which.

bvdboomen Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Ah yeah, Scoot... A 787 *Dream*liner with a Ryanair interior and dito (none) services. How an unpleasant surprise this was on an 8 hour flight from Melbourne to Singapore. Nice to see some of Broome again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Nice one Gerold. I got all excited a couple of months ago when a Scoot Dreamliner flew over our house departing Gold Coast airport. Turned out it was a one off repatriation flight. It's the little things that excite you in this pandemic time. Thank you. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flew "scoot in silence" with them from Singers to Sydney and had acceptable seats, service & food. Even I would do that again! The real trouble was check-in in Singapore, that was chaotic and cattle-like, comparable with Ryanair - a true lowlight. 1 hour ago, boetie said: Nice one Gerold.

A long time ago people were watching planes flying by in the skies, that is so far away from us now... Our office (today aka "awayoffice" in contrast to how we work now) was under the path from Heathrow to Singapore, with the daily Singapore Air 380s passing along... Times are a-changing.

olderndirt Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 "Scoot" was what Brit parents told their offspring to get them going. I don't think my 'Dreamliner' has a HUD, I feel so deprived . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do not overestimate the HUD, usually its extra information confuses me more than it does help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it more as a gimmick, not of total usefulness. At least I am not trained in taking advantage from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in many cockpits on real flights and seen it in use. It’s an elegant piece of hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
