Tiger flies for 44 baht S'pore-Bangkok

4 March 2007. Bangkok Post

Singapore (dpa) - Tiger Airways has launched 1.99 Singapore dollar (43.84 baht, $1.30) seat sales to three Thai cities in a promotion lasting until January 31, 2008, the low-cost carrier said on Sunday.

The 1.5 million seats available for "early bird saver" fares to selected destinations are one-way and exclude taxes.

The fares apply "even for festive year-end holidays" if passengers book months in advance of their flight departure dates, said chief marketing officer Rosalynn Tay in a statement.

A 5.99-Singapore-dollar (132 baht, $3.94) fare is available to Bangkok and Chiang Mai, 8.99 Singapore dollars (198 baht, $5.91) to Darwin, Australia and 9.99 Singapore dollars (220 baht, $6.57) to the Indonesian city of Padang.

Singapore Airlines-backed Tiger currently flies to six cities in Thailand, two in Vietnam, four in China, one in Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia and Singapore. The carrier is scheduled to start its Perth route on March 23.

Anyone ever achieved one of these silly priced flights???

Certainly have. Only catch is you still have to pay airport fees and taxes, and the cheapest fares often are at inconvenient times. Usually you end up with cheap fare in one direction, the normal fare back. But always worth looking for.

The further in advance you book the better chance you have of getting the flights youn want.
They have just started flying from Perth and the 1.99sgd dollar flight from Singapore to Thailand end up costing you 51sgd.

If you can get all cheap flights you want the return from Perth to BKK can be down as low as about $450.00 Aussie dollars.

You just have to keep an eye out. It is best to enrol in their online newsletter as you get all offers they are offering without having to go online to them all the time.

Singapore-Padang, now there's a city combination to get the airline world excited; it reminds me of the Icelandic outfit that operated Reykavic-Blackpool.
