Yowza, budget airline Tiger Airways is now charging extra fees for checked in luggages!

Starting July 2008, Jetstar Asia will be offering daily flights between Singapore and Phnom Penh in Cambodia, either with four non-stop flights weekly or via Siem Reap thrice weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Yup, you read it right: free flights! Excluding taxes and charges, of course.
You’d have to book your travel quickly, though (offer runs until Dec 19, 2007) for travel up to 31 March 2008. Most flights are to/from Singapore.
Perfect as a last minute Christmas gift!

Tiger Airways is giving 50% off fares to more than 10 destinations in the region for travel in Jan and Feb 2008. As usual, the catch is, you have to book quck… like now, before Oct 28, 2007. Go and log on to Tiger Airways and check seat availability. Go and book immediately if […]
In the beginning of the year, Air Asia announced the making of Air Asia X, a long-haul budget airline. It’ll cover flights that are 4-8 hours long, complementary to the existing short-haul Southeast Asian routes Air Asia has already been servicing.
Well, it’s taken longer than the projected launch in July, but Air Asia X seems […]
