Breaking News! TigerAir has merged with another budget airline and will disable their website at the end of July 2017. All operations have been taken over by Scoot Airlines. I have flown many times with Tiger Airlines and took one of their first flights to Australia over a decade ago, paying less than $60 USD inclusive from Singapore to Melbourne! (Got to love those promotional fares on new routes!) TigerAir has continually expanded across Asia, also offering many flights within Australia. The last time I flew on TigerAir was from Melbourne to Hobart, Tasmania for around $50 AUD one-way.
I was a little surprised the company went with the Scoot brand instead of the more recognized TigerAir, since Tiger was started in 2003 and was one of the first budget airlines in the world. We all have to see how this affects their flight offerings and prices. Scoot started in 2012 and is owned by Singapore Airlines, so a bit of consolidation here especially for the Singapore market. Scoot's route map already includes all of the TigerAir destinations, so it's difficult to tell if the combined company flies to more countries. TigerAir flights from Asia to India were particularly good value.
Let's see if Scoot will continue to offer super cheap airfares. Here are some of their current deals:
