Tiger MEL-DPS Divert Darwin
Interesting question for a first post! Noticed a Tiger 737 on the ramp yesterday afternoon in DRW.
Do I care, No because it's not my business - not being rude.......

I don't know!
But guessing Fuel Stop due payload/headwinds?
If it was supposed to be a nonstop flight, I guess the passengers would have been told before departure! Then again Tiger, maybe after departure!!

Anybody know why the past few days Tigerair TT1 Melbourne - Denpasar has stopped in Darwin?
Try this:
school holiday loads
150kt headwinds
Surabaya unavailable due to volcanic ash
TEMPO at other alternates
no one of these will do it, but a combination makes a tech stop necessary. Either that or offload a couple of tonnes or grumpy holiday makers.

Yeah when the pax are on short final to Darwin I wonder if they are still stoked they saved $28 on their airfare
the kind of folks looking to save $28 prolly dont realise life would be any different anywhere else.
I'm assuming you said the same when it was Virgin branded flying the same route?

Actually majority of AU-Bali traffic is narrow bodies. AirAsia are cutting widebody flights leaving Jetstar and Garuda.
PER-DPS A320 737 A330
ADL-DPS A320
MEL-DPS 737/787/330
SYD-DPS 737/787/330
BNE-DPS 737/787
DRW-DPS A320
PHE-DPS 737
CNS-DPS A320
TSV-DPS A320
Tiger have a higher density configuration compared to Virgin in the 737 which is where the weight is.

Just pointing out that everybody else flies widebodies to Bali and in such there would be no payload restrictions
Air Asia fly A320.
Garuda fly B737
Jetstar fly A320
