Scoot is crowned the world's best long-haul low-cost airline in 2025 by Skytrax
Singapore Airlines often gets the spotlight, and rightly so, having just been crowned the best airline in Asia and second-best in the world. But let's not overlook its low-cost sibling Scoot, which is holding its own on the global stage by clinching the title of World's Best Long Haul Low-Cost Airline at the 2025 Skytrax awards.
Best known for its wallet-friendly flights across Asia, Scoot recently added direct flights to Vienna, Austria starting from just $309. Despite its budget status, the airline doesn't cut corners when it comes to service. Its signature 'Scootitude', a philosophy centred on delivering quality assistance and experiences to its customers, is at the heart of its operations.
Passengers can also opt to upgrade to ScootPlus for added comfort and convenience. Perks include increased baggage allowance, comfortable leather seats with extra legroom, priority boarding and in-flight meals — a solid choice for longer journeys.
This dedication has paid off. In addition to winning the long-haul category, Scoot also placed second in the World's Best Low-Cost Airline rankings, just behind AirAsia. For the uninitiated, Skytrax is essentially the Oscars of the airline industry – making these accolades no small feat.

Newport Slimming World consultant named finalist in awards
Lisa Norris, who runs a Slimming World group at the Lysaght Institute in Newport, was shortlisted for Group of the Year in Slimming World's annual awards, which celebrate consultants who support members in losing weight and improving their wellbeing. Ms Norris said: "To be recognised and rewarded for doing a role that I love is so special. "Working for such an exceptional company as a franchisee, and as part of the South-Central Wales district, I couldn't be more honoured. "This recognition belongs to every person who has found the courage to walk into my group with their dream, and it is an honour to see these members grow in confidence week by week. "They are the ones who make our group the success that it is, with their friendship and support they give to each other weekly. "They make the group such a fun, safe, judgement-free place to be." Lisa Norris has been recognised as a finalist in the Slimming World 'Oscars' (Image: Supplied) Ms Norris, who supports more than 100 members each week, said she was "blown away" by the news that her group had made the finals. The phone call from her district manager, Scott Hawkins, left her in disbelief. She said: "I couldn't believe that the call was real, and asked, 'Are you sure?'" Alongside the finalist nomination, Ms Norris and her husband John were also selected to join Slimming World's annual all-expenses-paid consultants' trip. Lisa Norris and her husband John were also chosen to join Slimming World's all-expenses paid consultants' trip (Image: Supplied) In early May, the couple flew from Heathrow to Athens for a week of luxury in the exclusive Kolonaki district. Ms Norris said: "We were treated like celebrities, from the champagne reception, to the beautiful five-course evening meal with breath-taking views of the Acropolis, guided tours to the Temple of Poseidon, a hands-on cookery course, a Greek dancing lesson and sailing along the stunning coastline with an unforgettable evening of Greek food and dancing beneath the stars." The trip was Slimming World's 36th and the vision of the company's late founder, Margaret Miles Bramwell OBE, who died in February. Ms Norris said: "Margaret was always so excited to celebrate the achievements of her consultants and their members, taking part in each trip, planning and hosting every detail, so for this to be the first trip without her was an emotional one. "We did our best to keep her memory alive and remember that everything we do from here on in is to honour her and keep our promise to retain our commitment to helping as many people who need us in their weight loss journey." Slimming World is known for its supportive approach, offering encouragement not only to members but also to its consultants. Ms Norris was selected as a finalist for her "unwavering dedication" and "exceptional standards of service" in supporting both members and colleagues. She runs her award-winning group at the Lysaght Institute, Orb Drive, Newport, on Saturdays at 8am, 10am, and 11.30am.

It highlights the importance of site managers in delivering homes that are completed on time, safely, and to the highest quality standards. David Kelland, operations director at Barratt David Wilson Homes South Wales, said: "These awards showcase what it takes to be a top site manager and demonstrates our long-term commitment to looking after our customers. "Anyone who buys a home from a site with a Pride in the Job Quality Award winner knows their home has been built to the highest standard. "We are very proud to have won more of these awards than any other homebuilder for 21 years in a row now." Out of around 8,200 eligible sites, only 450 site managers are selected for the award—representing the top five per cent in the UK.
