Fancy flying from Australia to Europe for $399 one way?

Scoot is a major success story when it comes to low-cost airlines, and to celebrate its fifth birthday it is offering some incredibly low fares for a limited time only. 

The Singapore-based airline flies to a total of 59 destinations across Asia Pacific and Europe and is soon to be merged with Tigerair Singapore. Both are subsidiaries of Singapore Airlines, flying Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Airbus A320 aircraft.
