Pros: Friendly crew, helpful
Cons: Seat pitch was very tight. Boarding by stairs and not jetway.

Pros: Although the flight was delayed 20 minutes, the staff were efficient, polite and helpful with my elderly mum.
Cons: I had to pay extra to replace my trip to Darwin

Cons: Nothing.
Cons: Absolutely awful customer service and accommodations
Cons: The food was a couple of cookies....There was no entertainment.
Pros: Very good service by employees when airport "free WIFI" failed to connect with phones to display our emailed boarding passes. Also help coping with out-of-order baggage machines.
Cons: All baggage tag machines were out of order, causing lengthy lines for checking bags.
Pros: Cabin crew pretty so-so. No food to buy, no tea or coffee. Just water.
Cons: Practically everything!
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Flight time rescheduled meaning we had very little time for connecting flight. Then they checked our luggage in (weighed 8.5kg and only 7 allowed (charged $108). The booking in of the bags meant one of our party missed connecting flight. She arrived at gate while plane was still there and Capt said he would wait but ground staff over-ruled decision. Not happy.
Pros: The price.
Cons: Little room and having the seat in front reclined back as soon as possible, and until the very end of the flight. Reclining economy seats in minimal space budget airlines are just plain rediculous. Have those airline bisses never tried their own cattle class?
Pros: It’s on time
Cons: You guys didn't make it clear I didn't have luggage on the way to Brisbane it was included on the way back it wasn't ? So was hit with a unexpected fee for luggage
Pros: I booked because of the price... unfortunately
Cons: The plane was delayed 3.5 hours, no text and no message, even though it had been delayed from earlier in the day. The ground staff were disinterested and in no way apologetic... Nevet Again
Pros: Staff were nice and kind.
Cons: Nil.
Cons: Having to put my own luggage tags on only to be told by a fit man “ they’re upside down!’l he should’ve put them On !!
Pros: Quick flight
Cons: Boring and uncomfortable
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Our Monday evening flight was cancelled (midair so we wasted a night flying halfway there and back). 3 hours waiting to be told the next available flight is Friday evening. Told we would be refunded for accommodation costs up to $120 per night per person. 2 weeks later and yet to see that money. There is no inflight entertainment or food. Hand luggage is weighed at the airport and it is $50 if you are over 7kg
Cons: 2h delay
Pros: New and clean aircraft Great staff/crew
Pros: The crew were amazing and the seats were super comfy. The Captain was very smooth on take off and touch down, he was also very informative during the flight.
Pros: Efficient boarding
Cons: The flight was nearly 40 mins late
Cons: Entertainment
Cons: No issues with the flight itself or crew however the flight was rescheduled after booking from 11.45am departure to 8.35pm (then urther delay of 30m on day).
Pros: Great
Pros: Friendly crew, helpful
Cons: Seat pitch was very tight. Boarding by stairs and not jetway.
Pros: Toastie sandwich was delicious
Cons: Small child continually kicking the back of my seat despite requests to have her stop
Pros: Great boarding process, friendly staff, clean cabin, perfectly on time. Espresso martinis!
Cons: N/A
Pros: New and clean aircraft Great staff/crew
Pros: Seating was tight. Very thin seats.. Little padding
Cons: Their online baggage fees could not be purchased with either my Mastercard or Visa. Had to resort to Paypal for baggage payment. Flight was also over an hour late departing from Cairns. Crew said that was due to an ;onboard medical emergency' on the inbound flight.
Pros: Base price for flight was insanely cheap, booked six months in advance.
Cons: Drastically different bag weight requirements than my connecting flight meant I had to shuffle everything around to meet the carry-on limits, then pay $100+ as my check bag went up two levels. Even anticipating this, it still cost double what I was expecting; must have been the difference between advance payment and day-of rates, but the degree of difference in cost left me feeling swindled.
Cons: Even charge for water
Pros: Clean planes.
Cons: Hidden last minute weight fees on carry ons. In our case an extra $360. This is apparently a common complaint. Terrible scam.
Pros: Everything went smoothly as on earlier experiences. Friendly and helpful staff at airport.
Cons: The departure gate was not displayed on the electronic board at the airport until an announcement that boarding was 'commencing' which caused some unnecessary anxiety.
Pros: Price was good. Flight was delayed due to delay in incoming flight, and explanation was clear.
Cons: My poor spine does not like budget airline seats at all.
Pros: Quick flight
Cons: Boring and uncomfortable
Pros: Cabin crew pretty so-so. No food to buy, no tea or coffee. Just water.
Cons: Practically everything!
Pros: It’s on time
Pros: Everything - I am going to write them an e-mail how nice it was.
Pros: The Sydney lounge is amazing and the entertainment options are excellent.
Cons: Inflexible on making food available at times other than when the crew wanted to feed people, making no extra effort, or even acknowledging emerald status.
Cons: Flight attendants and staff were extremely rude and condescending
Pros: Not much to like other than access to Cathay pacific lounge at SFO Over booked about 50 seats fights in the aisles security on board blamed on a computer glitch delayed over 2 1/2 hours Business class old uncomfortable seats. After flying Singapore business last week I was appalled at what quantas had for the same price I’m dreading my flight back home on quantas I won’t fly them again
Pros: Almost everything.
Cons: Flying on 8 Jan is a time when there a lot of holiday makers heading home or perhaps just going on holiday. Lots of young children and a baby crying right behind me wasn't the most relaxing but I realise that nothing can be done about that.
Pros: Clean planes.
Cons: Hidden last minute weight fees on carry ons. In our case an extra $360. This is apparently a common complaint. Terrible scam.
Pros: The crew were amazing and the seats were super comfy. The Captain was very smooth on take off and touch down, he was also very informative during the flight.
Pros: Although a budget carrier, much better experience than US carriers, even supposed full service carriers. Would definitely fly them again.
Cons: Very picky on baggage weight, even carry on items.
Cons: Entertainment
Cons: Late
Pros: Helpful checkin staff and air stewards. Ran on time and would pick Tiger over Jetstar.
Cons: You guys didn't make it clear I didn't have luggage on the way to Brisbane it was included on the way back it wasn't ? So was hit with a unexpected fee for luggage
Pros: Toastie sandwich was delicious
Cons: Small child continually kicking the back of my seat despite requests to have her stop
Cons: Very rude team. Never ever travel with tiger airlines again
Pros: The crews did their best in a bad situation and were informative and engaging. Tiger also have an easy and economical upgrade to cabin baggage weight limit.
Cons: Outbound we were delayed on the tarmac for 45mins as the cabin PA had failed. A tech had to board and reboot the computer system. Our return journey was delayed 80mins as the assigned plane had another technical issue and required replacement. On landing deboarding was delayed a further 10mins as the ground crew had brought the wrong set of steps and couldn't find the correct set. Every time fly tiger I vow it will be the last time, but they are cheap...
Pros: Need to replace seat.
Cons: Outrageous baggage fees that cost more than the flight!
Cons: I learned that JetStar was the cheapest option for a reason. Check-in at Narita was a nightmare. Without any luggage to check it was over 1.5 hour wait just to check in.
Pros: Excellent. I arrived early and Jetstar accomodated me with getting an earlier flight.
Pros: unexpectedly about an hour into the flight an announcement came over the loudspeaker. It was something like this : Attention Attention please pull on your oxygen mask when it drops and place it firmly over your mouth and breathe calmly. I was shocked and everyone that I could see looked shocked. Then nothing. It was the announcement that you never want to hear when on an aeroplane. About 5-10 minutes later another announcement that it was an error and a wrong button had been pushed. It certainly was the wrong button to push.
Pros: Friendly crew, helpful
Cons: Seat pitch was very tight. Boarding by stairs and not jetway.
Pros: Easy, cheap and great for short-haul flight
Cons: cramped, but was on a new plane which was actually much better than other tiger flights i've taken!
Pros: I booked because of the price... unfortunately
Cons: The plane was delayed 3.5 hours, no text and no message, even though it had been delayed from earlier in the day. The ground staff were disinterested and in no way apologetic... Nevet Again
Cons: Having to put my own luggage tags on only to be told by a fit man “ they’re upside down!’l he should’ve put them On !!
Pros: The staff were fantastic, very professional, friendly and helpful. On board wine and food was surprising with some gluten and dairy free options and a sparkling Tempus Two.
Cons: I purchased MoveMe to allow me to change to an earlier flight if my schedule changed. It did, and I arrived at the airport over an hour before the earlier flight was due to depart. I attempted to use the MoveMe option at the check in Kiosk and discovered it is not available at the kiosk. On speaking to a ground staff member, she advised that I was in plenty of time to move to the earlier flight, she confirmed that on a recent print out there were quite a few seats available and I simply had to go to the Service Desk.... which had a queue of approx. 8 people. Unfortunately, it took approx 20 mins to get served and it was now too late to get on the flight. If Tigerair are not resourced to efficiently manage face to face service then the MoveMe option must be available through the kiosk. This was an incredible waste of my time with well over 2 hours spent at the airport.
Pros: Crew work very hard and are very pleasant.
Pros: Leg room
Cons: Delayed almost an hour. Landed and had to wait in another queue to get off the plane. Been waiting 15 minutes on the runway. This is really ruining the only holiday weekend I get for months.
Cons: Absolutely awful customer service and accommodations
Pros: Every aspect of the flight.
Pros: Flight was great
Cons: All was good
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Flight delayed about 50 mins. Lost baggage. Pooooooooor.
Pros: Not much.
Cons: Boarding exceptionally slow due to intensive screening of each passengers hand luggage. Opportunististic for making an extra $36/bag if a gram over 7. Seat unable to recline. Literally not enough room for legs and needed to sit sideways and I’m not that tall!
Pros: Everything went smoothly as on earlier experiences. Friendly and helpful staff at airport.
Cons: The departure gate was not displayed on the electronic board at the airport until an announcement that boarding was 'commencing' which caused some unnecessary anxiety.
Pros: Everything was great!
Pros: The window seats are good for sleeping.
Cons: No major issues on this flight.
Cons: 2h delay
Cons: I arrived from the international terminal before my first flight with Jetstar with my suitcase and backpack and was told to pay >$300 in additional bag fees. Not only that, the staff person insisted that I check in my backpack (not a large backpack) and then pay a large sum for checking it in. Jetstar staff are CROOKS- there was no need to check in the standard size backpack. The staffperson also LIED- I said that I would store the bag at the airport and the staffperson said it would cost the same. NOT TRUE. There is an option to store the bag at the hotel for MUCH LESS.
Pros: New and clean aircraft Great staff/crew
Pros: Need to replace seat.
Pros: Comfortable seats
Cons: Poor communication of crew memebers when dropping off bags, not consistent with charges of luggage, not helpful in alternative solutions, would allow some passengers with same size/weight of luggage through with no charge, versus charging ridiculous prices for others
Cons: Very rude team. Never ever travel with tiger airlines again
Pros: Helpful checkin staff and air stewards. Ran on time and would pick Tiger over Jetstar.
Pros: Everything was great!
Pros: Easy, cheap and great for short-haul flight
Cons: cramped, but was on a new plane which was actually much better than other tiger flights i've taken!
Pros: Relatively quiet airport lounge, easy boarding and decent flight
Cons: It needs a free drinks provision- soft drinks only
Pros: On time and friendly crew
Pros: It was fast and easy to get to my favourite thing in the world.
Pros: I'd already been in the air a total of 18 hours so this flight was only 1.5 hours so the finish line was in sight, could hardly wait for it all to be over
Cons: Already be there
Pros: Flight was comfortable and ran smoothly
Cons: It left 50 mins so I got into Brisbane half an hour late
Pros: Flight was great
Cons: All was good
Cons: The made me pay $50 for my skateboard as checked luggage! Skateboarding is not a crime and I'm not a f ucking terrorist! If I was forewarned I could have pre paid and it would only have cost me $12. Either way, it's feking bullshite!
Pros: Nothing you guys totally ripped me off for baggage. I will never fly with you again
Pros: boarding has been delayed however there is poor communication between the staff regarding estimated of delay...
Pros: The crew were amazing and the seats were super comfy. The Captain was very smooth on take off and touch down, he was also very informative during the flight.
Cons: Hardly any ice When the people in front reclined their seats I couldn’t hardly move Late as udual
