Tiger Airways offers cheaper flights to Singapore than AirAsia
Tony Fernandes will not be happy to hear this news. From 1st Nov 2008 till 31st Aug 2009, Tiger Airways, a Singapore-based budget airline, will fly you between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur for only SGD29.00 one way…. that is really a super cheap airfare even by AirAsia standard.
Just to be very sure, I tried to book online at the Tiger Airways website (without completing the online booking), and for a Kuala Lumpur – Singapore return flight on 14th Nov 2008, returning on 16th November 2008 cost me only RM184.00 (tax free) excluding luggage allowance. You have to pay additional RM25.00 per luggage (max 15kg) per sector, but you can carry more luggage by paying more allowance.
For comparison sake, I tried AirAsia online booking as well and for the same return trip on the same day (different timing of course) it would have cost me RM 410.00 excluding luggage.
AirAsia, as many of us know, charges RM5.00 per standard luggage (max 15kg, I think)… which is much cheaper than Tiger Airways.
Finally, a competition for AirAsia has emerged and it looks like Tiger Airways is winning. My boss had already flew Tiger Airways to Singapore in his recent business trip and our company is already planning to fly our employees on Tiger Airways for future business trips to Singapore. Tony Fernandes… what say you?
