Tiger air

The third LCC player to be reviewed:
Trip between Singapore (budget terminal) and Jakarta (Terminal 2). I would assume they are the most economic among the three. When compare the price, i do not recall a them to be beaten by price. However this comes with trade off to convenience. Booking process is okay, as I can specify my luggage allowance etc. But I still need to come over to budget terminal. It does not have enough outlets to accommodate the shopping, eatery demand. (Note: Budget terminal will be demolished as of September 2012, therefore Tiger Sir will move to T2.) They also seem to temporarily or indefinitely halted the web check-in function. This was a bit of painful as I needed to follow their strict check in requirement 45 min prior to flight departure, even on early hour flight.
Flight attendant is friendly, on flight food and beverage service is just as same as other LCCs. No flight entertainment may be painful if you are on mid haul flight such as Singapore - Taipei flight.
The number of check in counter is quite limited. Even in Singapore it is usually only one or two, so expect for long queue when check in.
