- Web check-in. Eligible passengers can check-in online from three days to one hour before departure.
Cons

How can I make a Tigerair booking?
You can book your ticket online. Visit the Tiger website, enter your travel dates and search for flights. Choose the flights that suit you and complete the booking form to finalise your reservation. You will need to provide your name, contact details and payment information.
How do I get my Tigerair booking confirmation and tickets?

What is the Tigerair cancellations policy?

If your flight is rescheduled or cancelled by Tigerair you will be rebooked on the next available flight. If your new flight is not suitable you will receive a travel credit or refund on the ticket price.
What's included in the Tigerair base fare?
Being a budget carrier, other than a seat, there's really not much that's included in a Tigerair flight. While many budget airlines offer a range of bundles for different traveller's needs, adding in extras like checked baggage, in-flight entertainment and meals during your flight, Tigerair doesn't. Each of those will incur an additional charge. The airline offers just two fare types: 'Light' and 'Express'. The difference in fares is about $14 each way for domestic flights, and $23 each way for flights to Bali. If you were to book these extras separate to your flight, it would cost about $5-7 each way for a reserved seat on a domestic flight ($6-15 for a flight to Bali), and $3 each way for queue jump, which allows you to board the plane early. Added together, that's just $8-$11 per domestic segment and $9-$18 per flight to Bali, which makes it cheaper to book the extras separately than purchasing the upgraded fare.
How much does Tigerair charge for extra carry-on baggage and checked luggage?
Tigerair does not include any checked baggage in any of it's fares. Those who would like to bring more than the complimentary 7kg of carry-on baggage, or would like to bring items you can't bring into the cabin, will need to pay an extra fee. Tigerair's baggage fees vary depending on the length of flight and destination, starting at $15.50 and going all the way up to $50.
| Baggage Allowance | Extra Fee* |
|---|---|
| 7kg (Carry on) | Free |
| 12kg (Carry on) | $18-$22 |
| 15kg | $15-$20 |
| 20kg | $19.50-$23.50 |
| 25kg | $29-$32 |
| 30kg | $35-$37.50 |
| 35kg | $41-$43 |
| 40kg | $46-$48.50 |
*Extra fee range is based on short-haul (Melbourne-Hobart) and long-haul (Sydney-Perth) charges.

Please help me I get your tigermail for Tuesday but I don’t get a promo code to book can you give me a promo code please to leave Brisbane and go to Melbourne return the cheapest flights you have in Dec 22. Returns 26
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for your question.
Most of the time Tigerair has sales or deals that don’t require a promo code. At the moment there are no deals fares for your leg, however you can still fly on those dates from $308 return with Tiger. Unfortunately, as you are flying during peak season, it’s likely there won’t be any sales valid for your dates.
If you were after something cheaper, you might like to change your flight dates. A good place to test different dates for different prices is I Want That Flight.
I hope that helps,
Stephanie
