I wonder how the talks are going between Macquarie Airports (SYD) and Tiger. Hopefully Macq will cave soon and we'll get some decent competition out of Sydney.
Nevertheless, good fares!

Tiger Airways is launching a "free ticket" promotion to coincide with its first anniversary of flying in Australia on Sunday.

- Tiger launches 'free seat' sale
- Passengers pay taxes, charges
- Qantas extends two-for-one deal


Passengers will only have to pay taxes and charges of up to $39.90, and credit card fees, to fly on most Tiger routes between February 1 and June 30 next year.

The promotion, with more than 100,000 seats on offer, will be available on all the airline's domestic routes with the exception of flights to and from Perth.

seems that someone has noticed a cash-flow problem and is looking for a short-term fix.

Nevertheless, good fares!

Desperate fares and unsustainable fares are the words that come to my mine

how do 'free' seats help a cashflow problem

how do 'free' seats help a cashflow problem

Because they are not free!

I hope that someone from Tiger reads here, because in Australia, if you use the term "free" in advertising, it had better bloody be free, or you are going to be in big troubles.

FREE means - no more to pay, no other conditions, obligations or requirements, in Australia "free" means completely free. Anything else is false advertising!

Thus Tiger using the term "free" in its advertising for its current sale seems false and misleading.

I thought the ACCC took sdim view of the use of the word 'free' when they are not actually free.
