Be sure to note also that Tiger has the right to change the scheduled flight time by up to 4 hours (either side) without giving you any option to change flights, get credit for your initial booking or cancel and get a refund. That has stuffed my partner and me more than once and we've had to either wear it (9.55pm flight —> 12.45am flight) or forfeit the money and book another flight with another airline (the new flight time would have caused us to miss a connecting flight overseas). Lots of problems.
i actually purcahsed tickets today using tiger airways…
Cheaper than any other airline including Jetstar.
Though one thing i find utterly irritating is the amount of extras on top of the 28 dollars e.g.
- Booking fee
- Seat selection fee (WTF)
- Credit card fee ( as if ill go to the airport to purchase the tickets)
- Luggage fee (15 bucks for 15 kgs i think)
Ended up being 90 dollars or so return
You needn't have paid the seat selection fee… in future, just skip the option - there is an option to say that you do not want to select a seat, and that saves you about $25 each way, I think.
Also use Mastercard Debit to avoid the convenience fee? Wonder if VISA debit will work?
Last time we went with Tiger we booked using an Aussie Mastercard Debit. The transaction was processed in Singapore dollars and we ended up paying a foreign transaction fee higher than the credit card fee.
