Tiger Airways

Any one ever travelled with them before?

What are they like?
Are they any good with kids?

We are flying Newcastle to Melbourne next week

Haven't flown with them.

I've been looking at their flights too (Melbourne to Newcastle actually!) and they're cheap for adults, but they charge $30 per infant (<2yrs) even though they don't allocate a seat and they don't give a baggage allowance either.

I'm sticking with Virgin 'cause even though the cost works out about the same, they allow and extra 5kg carry on bag for bubba.

We booked 3 seats even though only need 2. Girls stuff all goes in our bag anyhow.

I hope they are ok!

Good plan!

Let us know what you think of them after your trip.

Expect delays.....!! They are usually running 30-45mins late..... our friend flies with them every 3wks for work and EVERY single time we have picked her up from the airport (we live right near the gold coast airport) it is late.... Melbourne to Gold Coast flights anyways. BUT it's a budget airline so you get what you pay for... lol
