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.
