I flew Mel BNE return at end of October. Prior to this I had not had any problems with Tiger. Had to wait about an hour in MEL prior to take off - this was OK as I had no critical connections to make.
I have booked another flight departing BNE at 14.20 in December. Today I was told that I now have a change and will be boarding flight to MEL at 20.10. This is a bugger as it will not arrive back in MEL till 23.35 and even if I get Skybus I will not be able to get connecting suburban train home. Will have to catch a taxi. I am not happy.
Can't help but wonder if the 14.20 is still flying but they have more full paying passengers who want that flight and so my cheaper ticket $172 return has been moved to later less popular flight.
I have flown on about a dozen tiger flights and this is the first unhappy event I have encountered but it is sufficient to make me consider not flying with them again. It will cost me $178 to fly back at a reasonable time.
Am I being cynical or do they know that the plane will not be able to load at 14.20? JoyV
