TR 2477
Langkawi (LGK) - Singapore (SIN)
A320
9V-TAE
Budget Class


Tiger's oldest A320 in old "Tiger Airways" colours, 9V-TAE, arrived on stand.




After a quick turnaround, boarding was called and with our "Board-me-first" privilege with my NTUC member card during booking, we get to board ahead of the rest. Walked out onto the tarmac towards our plane.




AK's 100th aircraft was parked beside.




Boarding the Tiger.






We were both allocated Emex aisle seats on with lots of legroom! Unfortunately no recline for the seats but not that I would complain. Also means no videos for this sector.




Across the aisle.




Seat pocket items.




Departed on time for a 1h20m flight to Singapore. BOB service was conducted and there were surprisingly quite a number of sales made, considering the high prices of the items onboard. However we did not purchase anything. Service was rather good, largely contributed by the purser whom we subsequently confirmed was an ex-SQ girl, with her undeniably SQ-ish way of interacting with passengers and making cabin announcements.




View of the cabin. Even though this is TR's oldest plane, it was still kept pretty clean.




Landed on schedule and disembarked.




It was a very hazy scene back at Changi. In fact, that day had the worst bout of haze for the year, with air quality in the Unhealthy range.




Overall, a routine short, comfortable and on-time flight on Tigerair.

Thanks for reading this short report, with any comments welcomed.
