    Travel with Infant on Tiger Flight

    Could anyone who ever travelled with Tiger Flight give me some suggestions?
    we will fly with our 3 month bub from brisbane to Sydney on Feb with Tiger Flight. The tickets are 2 adults plus one infant. The tickets are non-check-in cheap ones.
    But we got a pram, The big worry is that Our Pram is almost 15kg, fixed one, can not be folded.

    dont know whether the tiger will let the pram be checked in. How much for the check in?

    Thank you

    I don't know about tiger, I know qantas and virgin give you one piece of infant equipment for free, outside of check in allowance. Maybe call and check.

    More than one piece! Virgin gives you a port-a-cot, pram AND carseat as 5kg of your baggage allowance.

    Jetstar are tight. I imagine Tiger would be too. If you have a non-check in ticket I doubt you can take the pram but call them because you may be ableto pay to add it on.

    Tiger are a PITA and give SFA.

    Keep in mind if a Tiger flight isnt 75% full they wont fly.

    I hate tiger,.. I'd rather pay the extra $50 and fly with someone else! Lol.

    But I guess just keep trying to call them? You have checked the website?
