Yeah, and their flights between BLR and SIN are at such *terrible* times it completely justifies being half the cost of SQ/MI.Wd40 wrote:For Bangalore, there are only 3 direct flights. SQ, SilkAir and Tiger. SQ and SilkAir are usually exactly double of Tiger prices. Also if you want to book just one way Tiger prices stay constant whereas SilkAir and SQ one is more expensive than 2 way.zzm9980 wrote:Ok maybe a bit of an exaggeration. I avoid them now unless they're the only option. I've found that most of the time after all of the taxes and fees they tack on to their advertised price, I'm much closer to the big name (CX, SQ, or VN as I often flew them to VN) ticket than you'd think. So by that point, the extra $100-200 is generally worth the much better experience.Brah wrote: why?
For us, Tiger has been one of the best things about staying in Singapore, after Mustafa, that connects us with IndiaAlso the timings are just perfect. The flights are in the night and fly from Terminal 2 which has the Indian restaurant Ananda Bhavan open 24 hrs and the flight is just 4 and 1/2 hrs. Eat at the restaurant and also pack some for the flight, no problems
You being the frugal middle-class Indian (don't take that the wrong way, I mean it in the most endearing way possible), I'm not surprised by your reply. You did help me put my finger on it, thanks. Flying Tiger *anywhere* feels exactly like every domestic flight I've ever taken in India (especially to/from third-rate shit airports like the old Managalore one or BBSR). The milling about of people trying to check in, inconsiderate passengers pushing their way or cutting in line to board, block the aisles, trying to load their hand-baggage, etc.
At least IndiGo has cute FAs.
