Melbourne Airport or ACCC should warn Tiger Airways to keep those departure signs accurate as a duty of care. And fine them for any >15 minute update delays. If Singapore has a 'Courtesy' campaign, the thickhead might be sleeping it out in Changi.
Is the plane leaving on time and not delayed?
Yes, says checkin staff at Tiger 1.20 before scheduled departure.:evil:
Well at 18:55, the CBR 18:45 people had not gone through the gates, and Gold Coast flight was also a shambles. None of the signs had updated or refreshed, still showing EDT 10 minutes in the past Not showing 'LATE' just 'Go to Gate'. I think they must savor the thought of elderly passengers standing up for blood clot mini-strokes.
Speaking to one source, she told me when things are bad, they often just switch off the departure board.
Last Sunday night, it must have been windy at Melbourne Airport.
After we boarded about 19:10 were told that only one runway at Melb airport was operational. And waited a long time - and got in late as it was windy and miserable in Canberra (as it always is).
I don't mind 5th rate facilities, the pigsty cramped lounge, and magpie picking counter staff on the take (commissions), but NOT advising passengers to make a call that they are late by updating the departure board in a timely manner is low act and cowardly.
I think the lass who told me things were on time must be following a rulebook - tell them whats on the board - do not think or deviate.
This is not an isolated event - they do it all the time.
As for the recent Tiger price and baggage hikes, Others are looking better.
I don't think the newspaper concession stand sells Aust.Post express delivery satchels. As I posted my 3kgs of excess, I thought what an opportunity for someone.
