Scoot's mile high club: longest smooch on board competition

Winners locked lips for 35 minutes.

Scoot, Singapore’s newest low-cost carrier, celebrated its first Valentine’s Day with a “Longest Smooch on Scoot” competition on board two of its flights yesterday.
Mr Mark Eric Mercado Castor and Ms Don Roxanne Vidar Dela Cena beat three other couples and locked lips for 35 minutes on Scoot’s flight from Singapore to Bangkok.

The winning couple walked away with a pair of ScootBiz tickets to any of Scoot’s destinations plus 1-night accommodation, on the house. While there was a clear winner on board the Singapore to Bangkok flight, the return proved just too hot (with passion) to handle – the five enthusiastic couples who participated in the competition were inseparable and were unable to part lips for the entire journey! They kissed while standing, sitting, squatting and persisting till the flight was about to descend.

Scoot’s CEO Campbell Wilson who was on board (sans kissing partner) ultimately declared all five couples the winners, each couple receiving a pair of Economy Fly tickets to a Scoot destination they desire. Said Campbell, “What a fun experience! It was great to celebrate the spirit of Valentine’s Day, and in a much more enjoyable way than just keeping ones hand on a car! We only hope that our fantastic couples haven’t prematurely exhausted their passion!”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
