Tigerair Review | Pros and Cons
Pros
Pay for what you need. Tiger was a no-frills service. You could add extras (such as luggage, meals or seat selection) if you needed them.
Generous hand baggage allowance. Passengers could take two pieces of hand baggage with them for free. That meant one bag no larger than 54cm x 38cm x 23cm, and one small item (e.g. a handbag, book or coat) with a total combined weight of 7kgs.
Web check-in. Eligible passengers could check-in online from three days to one hour before departure.
Cons
No free check-in baggage. As a low-cost carrier, Tiger charged passengers for check-in baggage.
No 24-hour customer help line. Customer help lines were available daily from 5am–11pm AEST.
Tigerair Frequently Asked Questions:
How early were Tigerair check-in times?
Web check-in was available from three days to one hour prior to departure. Check-in counters (for bag drop, passengers with children and non-web check-in passengers) at the airport opened two hours to 45 minutes prior to departure.
How did I use Tigerair web check-in?
Web check-in was available for passengers on domestic routes. It was not available for passengers who had pre-booked emergency seats or were travelling with children. To use the service, you would visit the Tiger website and retrieve your flight details. You needed access to print your boarding pass. Boarding passes displayed on mobile devices were not accepted. Passengers without check-in luggage and with a printed boarding pass could go directly to the departure gate.
How could I check a Tigerair flight status?
If any changes were made to your booking Tigerair would have notified you by email. You could also check for updates in the “Manage my booking” section of the site.
All booked tickets were confirmed and are non-refundable. If you did miss your flight or needed to cancel, you would have forfeited the fare.
If your flight was rescheduled or cancelled by Tigerair you would be rebooked on the next available flight, or with a Virgin Australia service. If your new flight was not suitable you would receive a travel credit or refund on the ticket price.
What was included in the Tigerair base fare?
Being a budget carrier, other than a seat, there's really not much that was 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 didn't. Each of those will incur an additional charge.
The airline offered just two fare types: 'Light' and 'Express'.
How much did Tigerair charge for extra carry-on baggage and checked luggage?
Tigerair did not include any checked baggage in any of its fares. Those who would have liked to bring more than the complimentary 7kg of carry-on baggage, or bring items you couldn't bring into the cabin, would need to pay an extra fee.
Tigerair's baggage fees varied depending on the length of flight and destination, starting at $15.50 and going all the way up to $50.

Most of the time, Tigerair has sales or deals that don’t require a promo code. At the moment there are no deals for your leg. However, you can still fly on those dates from a $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 through I Want That Flight.
