After 2 days in Phuket on Patong Beach we were ready to go home the long way via SIN, SYD and AKL.
The next morning we took a taxi we ordered from the hotel, the price was horribly high as the hotel takes an excessively huge margin.
We arrived at Phuket Airport very early. The check-in counters are in the Low Cost side of the terminal. The counters weren't opened yet and we waited on chairs that were all stucked together on a far side of the area.
When the counters opened we were number 2 and 3 to check-in. The agent took our bags, no baggage fee as we paid the bag and seat fee on the website.
The agent looks for the boarding cards in a box where all of them are already prepared. They are in alphabetical order. The boarding cards remind me me of the ones I was getting when travelling on UTA in the 70s and 80s when departing from PPT.

We went to the regular terminal to go through immigration and security and waited for boarding.
After a rather long wait in a queue going around the book shop we were invited to go downstairs to take a bus that would take us to our Airbus 319 9V-TRA.

The flight went by smoothly, the cabin crew sold drinks and snack as well as duty free articles. We didn't get anything and I believe they didn't sell much on that rather empty flight.
We arrived and disembarked at the Changi Low Cost terminal.

Conclusion

A flight on a low cost carrier, no meal or anything for free. The crew was very much present in the cabin through the flight. Legroom is tight.
Tiger Airways did what I paid them for, taking me from Phuket to Singapore within a time frame.

  • Merci pour ce FR

  • Rassurez moi, ce n'est pas le FR du \Je n'ai pas fais beaucoup de photos\ LOL?

    Merci de nouveau, j'ai remarqué votre coté rebelle à ne pas vouloir mettre les numéros de vols comme tout le monde XD.

    Sinon livrée sympa et cabine sobre, c'est déjà bien pour une low-cost.

    Merci ;)

  • @Leadership... je comprends pas, je vois le numéro de vol de chacun de mes FR... En haut à droite...

  • Non c'est juste l'espace entre le code compagnie et le numéro de vol, si vous regardez les autres FR vous verrez qu'il n'y en a pas, mais ce n'est pas bien grave ;)

  • Ah ok !!! J'ai compris... En effet... j'ai mon propre style ! J'avais même pas remarqué en fait...

    Et pour le peu de photos, en effet, vu mes autre FR, il n'y en a pas beaucoup, du moins pas grand chose concernant le vol...

  • Merci pour ce FR

  • Merci pour ce premier FR sur Tiger Airways !

    Le design des sièges n'a pas l'air très développé,mais ça à l'air d'être assez confortable.

    Pas mal la carte d'embarquement qui fait assez \retro\ :)

    Par contre, pour la note du repas, je pense que ce serait bien de mettre 10, parce que même si tu n'a rien prit, tu ne peux pas dire que tu n'a pas aimer la qualité de la nourriture. Donc c'est vrai que pour moi, 10 représente une note neutre, et ne pénalisera pas la compagnie dans le classement général...

    Merci encore, et a bientôt !

  • @Kilmarnock

    Je suis d'accord pour la note du repas mais j'aurais préféré ne rien mettre. Il serait interessant de rajouter un N/A pour les compagnies ou les vols où l'on a pas consommé de repas ou de boissons.

  • Merci pour ce FR :)
