Scoot will return the actual Holds (time limit) in an SSR after the booking has been committed.
(a) Agents must refer to CAT 5 restrictions filed in ATPCO for the rules on hold period.
(b) Bookings can be made up until 4 hours prior to departure (subject to markets).
(c) The hold applicable to the first sector governs the entire booking.
(d) If a hold expires, flights need to be re-booked in a newPNR.
(e) All passengers and segments must be ticketed for the booking to be confirmed. Otherwise, itinerary will be cancelled due to payment due.
