Great news: Scoot now flies to Vietnam's Da Nang, Nha Trang and Malaysia's Kota Bharu

Looking for somewhere new to go? Here are three destinations to put on your radar (if they weren't already). Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, just announced that it's adding three new spots to its Southeast Asia network: Da Nang and Nha Trang in Vietnam, and Kota Bharu in Malaysia.

It's about time for Da Nang and Nha Trang if you ask us. These two Vietnamese coastal gems may not get the same spotlight as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, but they're up-and-coming destinations in their own right. These summer favourites have stunning beaches and well-developed nightlife scenes (be it night markets or beachside bars), and Da Nang in particular is the perfect gateway to gorgeous landscapes and cultural attractions like Ba Na Hills, Golden Bridge, the UNESCO World Heritage Site My Son Sanctuary, and ancient towns Hoi An and Hue. 

Malaysia's Kota Bharu flies comparatively under-the-radar, but is a good option if you're a cultural buff. As the state capital and royal seat of Kelantan, it's the hub of Malaysian traditional arts and crafts – think traditional drums, silat dance, and shadow puppetry. 

In a sign that demand is hot, Scoot is looking to ramp up flights to these locations progressively until the end of the year. Here's the expected schedule and one-way ticket prices:

• Da Nang: Three times weekly from October 20; progressively increased to daily flights by December 2025; from 115 SGD
• Nha Trang: Two times weekly from November 21; progressively increased to five times weekly flights by January 2026; from 135 SGD
• Kota Bharu: Two times weekly flights from October 26; from 78 SGD 

More routes to launch at year-end

Towards the end of the year, you can hop on a Scoot flight to more destinations like Okinawa, Japan, and Medan and Labuan Bajo in Indonesia. Fantastic news for those who bemoaned the loss of the Okinawa and Labuan Bajo routes previously offered by Jetstar Asia, which recently announced its closure. 

Scoot will also boost flight frequency on a number of existing routes. Destinations that will soon get more flights:

• From July 2025: Jakarta, Indonesia; Sydney, Australia
• From August 2025: Clark, Philippines; Perth, Australia
• From September 2025: Davao and Manila, Philippines; Hat Yai, Thailand

Don't miss upcoming promotional fares

Heads-up: a limited-time sale to over 60 destinations is happening from July 8 (10am SGT) to 13 (11.59pm SGT). The promotional fares will be on offer on Scoot's website and mobile application. This is on top of a sales launch for the new destinations.
