Confirm the second airline’s check-in/bag-drop deadline and actual departure terminal. Travelling with hand baggage alone does not confirm your transfer route; check the arrangements with both airlines. For Scoot at T1 only, staffed check-in counters close 60 minutes before scheduled departure. Automated bag-drop has a separate deadline; check your actual airline and channel. After rechecking, allow time for departure immigration, security and reaching the gate. No minimum connection time is guaranteed.",
