YOUR SAFETY<br />
& COMFORT<br />
SCOOT<br />
SECURITY<br />
POLICY<br />
<strong>Scoot</strong> reserves<br />
the right to deny<br />
boarding to<br />
passengers who<br />
are inappropriate<br />
on board or<br />
on the ground<br />
with their<br />
comments or<br />
behaviour.<br />
KEEP MOVING<br />
Maintaining good blood<br />
circulation and muscle relaxation<br />
goes a long way towards avoiding<br />
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a painful<br />
condition that arises when a clot obstructs<br />
blood flow in a vein. Though it’s a rare<br />
occurrence, don’t take any chances,<br />
especially during long <strong>flight</strong>s. During your<br />
<strong>flight</strong>, move your legs and feet for a few<br />
minutes every hour. Stand up and stretch<br />
your arms and chest.<br />
CABIN PRESSURE<br />
Changes in cabin pressure during the <strong>flight</strong><br />
may cause discomfort in the ears. Relieve<br />
ear pain by swallowing hard, holding your<br />
nose and gently breathing out with your<br />
mouth closed. If travelling with toddlers or<br />
infants, give them a sweet or feed them a<br />
snack when cabin pressure rises,<br />
particularly during take-off.<br />
SAFETY FIRST. NO COMPROMISE<br />
Your safety is our number-one priority, but you have a part to play<br />
too. The cabin crew’s safety briefing and the safety information<br />
card in your seat pocket provide crucial details in the unlikely event<br />
of an emergency. Always pay attention to these details on each<br />
<strong>flight</strong> you take because information can vary, such as the location<br />
of emergency exits and equipment. If in doubt about anything<br />
safety-related, ask. Our crew are specially trained to ensure your<br />
safety at all times. Regardless of the situation, safety must never<br />
be compromised, so follow the crew’s safety instructions at all<br />
times. It is an offence to refuse to obey any lawful command<br />
of the captain or cabin crew.<br />
CABIN CLEANLINESS<br />
Please do not place rubbish or other discarded items in your<br />
seat pocket or on the floor. Trash bins and napkins are located in the<br />
lavatories. Unless you have strict dietary requirements not catered<br />
for on board our <strong>flight</strong>s, please refrain from bringing outside food<br />
and beverages into the aircraft. We have a delicious array of meals<br />
and snacks on offer, including tempting vegetarian and halal options.<br />
PORTABLE<br />
ELECTRONIC<br />
DEVICES<br />
You may use your<br />
lightweight portable<br />
electronic devices<br />
(“Flight Safe” mode on<br />
A320 /”Transmitting”<br />
mode on B787) unless advised by crew.<br />
Personal headphones or earphones must be<br />
unplugged and not in use when the aircraft is<br />
taxiing, taking off and landing. Laptops may<br />
not be used and must be properly stowed<br />
when the aircraft is taking off, landing and on<br />
the ground. If you’re boarding or disembarking<br />
the aircraft on the tarmac, you must switch off<br />
your devices. At any point of the <strong>flight</strong>, the<br />
captain or cabin crew may advise you to turn<br />
off your devices.<br />
STAY HYDRATED<br />
Low humidity in the cabin<br />
can cause your body to<br />
dehydrate. Drink lots of<br />
non-alcoholic beverages<br />
during your <strong>flight</strong> and<br />
apply moisturiser liberally<br />
to combat dryness. Consume alcohol in<br />
moderation while on board as high altitude<br />
intensifies its effects. The consumption of any<br />
alcoholic beverage not purchased from the<br />
in<strong>flight</strong> menu is not permitted.<br />
DON’T SMOKE<br />
<strong>Scoot</strong> enforces a strict no-smoking policy on all<br />
its <strong>flight</strong>s, which also prohibits the use of<br />
e-cigarettes. Please refrain from lighting up in<br />
the lavatories, as doing so could endanger the<br />
safety of your fellow guests or disrupt the <strong>flight</strong>.<br />
