I have flown Tiger several times, and they seem to be OK as
a LCC. One thing to notice - the checked luggage allowance
is typically 15kg, and they monitor that very closely. I think
they make as much money on excess luggage charges as they
do by selling tickets!
Seat pitch is tight... not sure of the exact measurements, but
it is typical LCC - not what you would find on a full-service
airline. Food and beverage for sale - again, things seem to
be pretty typical for LCC. Planes are very new A320s.
Boarding procedures are a bit of a stampede - they may do
some preboarding for families and elderly, but after that, it is
a free-for-all. Stand close to the gate door if you want an
exit row seat.
All in all, a bit of a tight squeeze, and not a lot of extra amenities,
but the price is right... just don't pack much in your luggage!
