How Tiger Airlines treats a 90 year old
Last night my father had the gaul to select Tiger Airlines to fly from Adelaide to Sydney. He arrived some 70 minutes before the published departure time, he arrived at the counter having had to line up at 44 minutes prior to departure to be told that the flight had closed and he had missed his flight.
Most people would say bad luck he should have arrived earlier but with only walk on luggage this is a bit rich for Tiger. What makes it even more gaulling is the fact my father was an airline pilot with some 26,000 hours.
He didn't take ity very kindly, told them a few home truths and went across to teh Virgin Counter and bought a ticket and flew out 5 minutes after the Tiger flight.
Moral of the story why bother with a company that treats its client in such an appalling manner.
