This report is from 2014 trip report. I was visiting Melbourne for a short visit.
Arrived at airport by train after work. Got off at domestic terminal and then proceeded to departure area.
I had printed the boarding paper while checkin for the flight. Headed for security check. Had some food before proceeding to gate.
Boarding was not opened for the flight. Waited close to gate.

Arrive at parking bay
Disembarkation was through stair and then walk to baggage collection. As I wasn't carrying check-in bag, exited terminal 4 without delay.
Walked towards the Virgin Terminal to buy SkyBus ticket. After reaching Southern Cross station, caught train to destination.
Hope you enjoyed this trip report. Thanks for reading.

Tiger Airways was chosen for the price, Departure and arrival was ontime. On Board service was buy-on-board. Being flown domestically these aircraft do not have any inflight entertainment. Inflight magazine was provided for reading. Overall a satisfactory flight.

So... whatever happened to your window seat? :O How did you end up in the middle seat?
That might explain why LATAM has kept their tray tables even after they replaced their meal service with a lousy cup of water.
Thanks for sharing! :)
