Flew Tiger to Melb yesterday - all good.
Being rostered in Melb usually sees me fly down weekly with Virgin, however with the return close on $500 instead of the usual $270 I was pleased to give my business to a much needed competitor. Tiger staff were on their toes and doing their best, even the non Tiger ground based Aerocare staff were helpful(a change ! ) - all good. The jump in fares with VA on the Sydney Melbourne sector makes me think a good competitor is badly needed. Let's hope Tiger are now up to it without hiccups.

Dito. The Virgin Blue Mel-Syd shot up when Tiger was grounded. Need some more competition.
The cheapest return fare last Tuesday cost me $588, almost twice as much as earlier this year.
Jetstar Mel-Syd was even dearer then Virgin Blue.

You also have to remember that when one airline pulls out you end up with less capacity on the route. So even with the same ticket prices you will end up with high prices because there is more people going for the same number of cheaper ones.
