But they are a sh1t airline. Yeah, I know, you get what you pay for but cop this. My daughter is flying from Bangkok to Melbourne next week with this cheapskate mob, her choice, but my wife spent 1 hour and 10 minutes on the phone today trying to speak to an agent (Asian based) to pre book excess baggage for our daughter. Now you can't book BKK/MEL in one hit with Tiger (even though they advertise it) so have to book via SIN and Darwin. Here's the sting. Because of the dodgy booking servive you now have to pay the excess baggage rate to Singapore, pick it up pay again to Darwin and then again to Melbourne on a BKK/MEL ticket. Anyway, it is a cheapskate airline and you get what you pay for. Just be warned , and I was thinking of trying for a job there, mind you they are Singaporeans I guess so say no more...
