How many domestic carriers do we want in Australia?

You are right, Tiger is a good beer.

Tiger have some great deals on at the moment, you can fly to Darwin for approx $150.00 return and to Singapore for around $500.00 return. Qantas, Virgin and Jetstar will need to match the prices, so there will be no excuse next season for everyone not to go to Darwin!! :clap:

Great news that we have anyother airline, prices will drop 20 to 30 all round

I am yet to fly Tiger - has anyone here flown with them and if so what were they like?

A friend of mine travelled with them (I think they went to Thailand or somewhere like that) and had issues when they had to stop in Darwin. It was a dinner time flight and by the time the food trolley got to my friend down the back there was no food left and she was left with 2 starving kids. I say you get what you pay for and if it's cheap don't whinge.

I flew with Tiger across to Perth in August to pick my children up. Definitely has to be the worst service amongst the lot, we flew 4 hours and like Superfan's mate, I got stiffed as far as food goes. Everything's on a budget, I even had to pay extra for my exit row seat, even though I don't fit in the normal seating!! If that's not physical discrimination, I don't know what is. I only fly QANTAS if I can, Virgin if I can't afford QANTAS. I'll only fly Jetstar or Tiger if there's no other alternative. If you're flying regional, go with Rex. They are awesome.
