There’s more to the roar

MANILA, Philippines - Booking a budget airline can sometimes be more of an ordeal than a deal so we figured we’d let you in on your next go-to airline: Tigerair. Here’s why in four S’s.

Safe, secure, and reliable

Tigerair’s a low-cost carrier but — there’s no but. You get high quality service for inexpensive rates. “We aim to make traveling more affordable to Filipinos while providing them with a quality airline with a caring and highly trained cabin crew, the most experienced pilots, and an aircraft fleet made in Toulouse, France, and no older than three years old,” says Tigerair president and CEO Olive Ramos.

Savings. Their terminal fee is half the price at midnight.

If you feel that your money is better spent on the vacation itself rather than the terminal fee then booking a midnight flight is an option.

Say no to airline food and save your appetite for your destination’s cuisine.

Ramos continues by pointing out that with non-budget airlines, food is included in the fare and they won’t reimburse it if you opt to not eat your food. “Who really likes to eat airline food?” she asks. “In Tigerair, a packaged meal, which is not included in the fare, costs only P350. So, why choose a full-service airline when you can have a budget airline where the seats are few and you can be taken care of better?”

Singaporean quality seats, plus wider leg room for the big boys.

Associated with the strengths of the Singapore-based Tigerair brand, this airline gives passengers a seamless, value-for-money travel experience. Its Airbus A320s and Airbus A319s, the newest in the low-cost carrier segment, are configured to carry less seats and passengers to give them wider legroom. Tigerair really has much to roar about these days.
