Are there reliability issues with the cheaper airlines?
I am a Star Alliance Gold member if that factors into your decision.
the budget airlines are safe. ymmv for customer service. seats maybe more uncomfortable (my experience with scoot was fine, but another airline's seat wasnt so great). SQ should have food and refreshment, while the budget airlines will not allow you to comsume your own food.
