Budget airline Scoot reduces airline tickets to Europe to $400

As peak Euro summer nears, and our Instagram feeds become filled with shots from Greece, France and Italy — there’s one way to get there on the cheap.

Just in time to join the hoards of Aussies set to flood Instagram with shots from Greece and Italy, one of world’s biggest low-cost airlines has slashed fares to Europe — with some as low as $400.

Scoot, with its hub in Singapore, is once again offering some of the cheapest flights to Europe ever seen in Australia.

The budget airline is known for its wildly cheap flights but its newest offering — in which Sydneysiders or Melburnians can nab a flight to Athens for less than $400 — means you can get to experience a Euro summer for a fraction of the cost.

The $405 one-way flight from Sydney, or $395 out of Melbourne to Athens, is on sale for the next week.

If you’re keen to get to Japan instead this year, the airline has discounted flights to Osaka from $335 out of Sydney, $325 from Melbourne and $319 from Perth.

If Bali is on your wish list this year, flights from Denpasar will set you back just $225 from Sydney, from $219 out of Melbourne and around $190 out of Perth.

The catch with travelling Scoot is that the airfare essentially provides you with a seat only, so for travellers looking for added comfort, more baggage allowance or priority booking, you’ll have to pay extra.

ScootPlus tickets to popular destinations are also on sale. So for Athens, fares are from $830 out of Sydney, or $820 from Melbourne and $929 from Perth.

Osaka will set you back $820 out of Sydney, from $810 out of Melbourne and $699 from Perth.

Osaka is a pretty epic place to be.

The budget airline said more than 40,000 promotional seats are now on sale across Australia.

The airline says the travel period includes 11 July 2024 – 14 September 2024, 1 October 2024 until 26 Nov 2024.

For next year, periods include 16 January 2025 until 2 Apr 2025 and 22 Apr 2025 – 30 May 2025.
