Tiger airways has got to be the worst airline ever....

once, gav was scheduled to come visit me but his flight was cancelled, and he was only informed the night before, just 10 hours before the flight! so he ended up having to book another flight, paying $220 for it. so, although we were refunded the $40 for the original flight, we ended up paying more than 5 times more for another flight. This wasn't the first time we were disappointed by tiger. The first time we took it, the flight was delayed 7 times, with us ending up waiting in the departure hall for more than 4 hours. Still, i was so stupid to think that it was just a one off event, and booked them again for a flight to melbourne for my exam, and got charged an unexpected $25 extra for checking in at the counter, when there was no mention at all on the website that i was meant to check in online. So, i've only ever had ONE flight with tiger where everything happened as expected. I felt very cheated, so i'll never take them again no matter how cheap the tickets are because more likely than not, something bad will happen. I'd heard a lot of bad things about them before but was too foolish to heed the warnings, being eager to save a few dollars but ended up having to spend so much more! sigh

Oh Cell, I'm sorry to hear about all your bad experiences with Tiger. Ken and I have flown with them five times now, and never been late, or had any other problems. We've been warned by travel agents that Tiger are unreliable, but you've only got to read what's been happening to Qantas and Jetstar lately to see that things go wrong for them all at some stage.
