Having launched in 2012 as a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, Scoot offers a variety of long-haul flights. Their latest route, on a Dreamliner from Gatwick to Bangkok, the tickets go for a staggeringly good value £210.

To add another level of luxury, Scoot also introduced ScootinSilence, an upgrade starting from just £16 to sit in a section of the plane that helps those without children to enjoy a quieter flight and enjoy more legroom than standard economy.

There is also the option to upgrade to ScootPlus, which offers roomy, reclining leather seats, meals, in-flight entertainment and 30kg of baggage included, with tickets starting at £368.
