Introduction
This trip is from March 2017, returning to Melbourne from Sydney.
Check-In
I had checked online and had printed my boarding pass before arriving at the airport. Took train from Central to Domestic Airport. TigerAir operates from Terminal 2. Since I was travelling without baggage, went straight to security. After completing security, had dinner before heading for the gate.

Conclusion
TigerAir was cheapest way to fly domestic. Suited my need. Flight departed 1/2 hr late, entertainment was looking outside window as there aircraft has no IFE on board. Meal is Buy on Board as its a short flight, I had my dinner before boarding. Melbourne as quick exit and to transport as I was travelling without luggage.
