Flying Tigerair to Singapore

We can’t always travel business course across the world. We would love to, however it is not necessarily feasible. As well as for brief haul trips around Southeast Asia, we are more likely to travel among the popular inexpensive companies. After all, i might instead save yourself my cash and kilometers to make a 12 hour trip to Europe operating course. Meaning more budget flights around Southeast Asia. This is how we wound up testing out Tigerair to to Singapore.

Flying From Bangkok on Tigerair to Singapore

There are several inexpensive companies, or spending plan airlines, that fly throughout Southeast Asia. We’ve flown AirAsia, a whole lot. And, we’ve tested out Thai Smile on a domestic trip within Thailand. But, recently we had the chance to fly Tigerair to Singapore for the first time. We flew Tigerair within Australia a few times in 2009. This was our first-time flying Tigerair within Asia.

We flew from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to Tigerair’s hub at Singapore Changi Airport. Our two hour journey had been every thing you’d want from a flight: quick, comfortable, and with friendly solution. And, because our company is luxury travelers, we opted for an “upgrade” on first row on our flight on Tigerair to Singapore and to exit row along the way right back. There’s always a way to fly having a little bit of luxury, even on a tight budget flight.

Updating on a tight budget Airline

Most associated with inexpensive providers who fly within Southeast offer customers this sort of “upgrade.” This might consist of buying meals aboard or roomier seats in exit line or at the front end associated with aircraft. Tigerair is not any various and offers all of these solutions. Just what sets them besides airlines like AirAsia, is Tigerair permits chair upgrades during the trip.

From my chair in the 1st row, I heard the statement that seats were available in rows one and 13 for purchase. An update mid-flight! This may be a great substitute for offer passengers. You may still find numerous fliers whom aren’t aware of these roomier seats or may have forgotten to pick this program once they initially booked their solution. Having one final chance to purchase additional leg space, also for cost, is a huge plus. On the other hand, I’m 6’4” while having extra legroom on my brain every time I fly.

Tigerair is Singapore Air, And More!

Tigerair is one of four airlines that comprise Singapore Global Airlines, the SIA holding company. SIA additionally operates Singapore Airlines, SilkAir, and Scoot. Scoot and Tigerair have a pretty close relationship. Scoot covers more long term channels, especially on the Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Around we just flew Tigerair to Singapore, we could have seamlessly linked to Scoot, and flown to Australia and past.

At Singapore Airport, Tigerair and Scoot fliers can quickly move from flight to another to attain more locations throughout Asia. Our last location was Singapore so we didn’t hook up to a Scoot journey. But if we had, it was great to know our bags could have been transported directly to our next flight.

Tigerair and the Value Alliance

Tigerair is a member of the Singapore Airlines family, where Tigerair flights make KrisMiles. Tigerair is also a founding person in the worth Alliance. So that you can compete keenly against AirAsia, eight airlines formed the world’s first “pan-regional Low Cost Carrier” alliance. The worth Alliances includes Cebu Pacific associated with Philippines, JejuAir from South Korea, Nok and NokScoot of Thailand, Vanilla Air from Japan, and lastly Scoot and Tigerair.

Just what does this mean for Tigerair people? According to the Value Alliance, it indicates that people are in a position to book flights provided by any Value Alliance partner “when they visit any user web site.” Being the #AvGeek I am, I place this to the test on Tigerair’s web site. When I looked for flights from Seoul to Cebu, a route served by JejuAir, no journey resulted. I’m not sure if this is user mistake or in the event that scheduling system isn’t in place yet. I’ll consistently experiment to see exactly what arises. Regardless, this may be a big step forward the inexpensive providers in Southeast Asia within their efforts to compete keenly against AirAsia. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for tourists to find and book the roads they desire using one of these brilliant eight airlines.

As the final time we travelled Tigerair was at 2009, I’m delighted we had the chance to experience them again. And, it had been good to compare their solution to another cheap companies in Southeast Asia. 

Being situated in Bangkok, it’s always our preference to travel out of Suvarnabhumi versus Don Muang. Fortunately Tigerair flies out of the larger Suvarnabhumi. Overall, I became happy with this experience. The inflight meal we ordered had beenn’t the greatest we’ve had, but wasn’t the worst. The employees had been excessively friendly. 

We were hosted for the journey on Tigerair to Singapore in order to attend a travel seminar hosted by TravMedia. As constantly, my ideas are my own. Also, since our journey, SIA announced that Scoot Air could be taking in Tigerair into the future.  This will take a moment, however, therefore it is nevertheless possible to own this Tigerair experience traveling inside and out of Singapore.
