    Just had thought about Tiger Mazzeroo.

    Have to sus out if it them who operate out of Avalon, because if it is then it creates an iss-ewe

    I had friends who were booked with Tiger and they got a text message about 4 hours before they were supposed to be at the airport asking them to call a number (they can't even be bothered calling you - you have to call them) and my friends were then told that the flights had been cancelled and that they couldn't have a refund - the "best" that Tiger could do was to cost of their flight credited to another airline for travel on the same day - which they had to do as they had a wedding to get to.

    I think, given the importance of your trip it would be worth paying a little bit extra and avoiding Tiger.

    I've flown both (Tiger - GC to Melb and JetStar - Bris to Melb) and never had an issue with either.

    Tiger do seem to have stricter book in / cut off times, but as long as you get there with plenty of time I doubt you'll have an issue.

    Service is fine with both... basic and you pay for what you need.

    I think it's definitely a 'luck of the draw' kind of situation... I've had bad experiences with JetStar, Virgin and Qantas...

    I would pick the cheapest... you're only on the plane for 2 hours... what could possibly go wrong
