budget flights

thank god for budget flights (no frills). Why? Because I can now plan my flights just under $300+ for 2 tickets. how wonderful. Tiger Airways (Singapore) & Jetstar Airways (Australia) respectively

I have decided to purchase my flight to Shenzhen from Tiger and my return flight from Jetstar (Hong Kong via Singapore) Pity Tiger does not provide direct routes from Hong Kong to Singapore. Id most likely zip around Mainland China and Hong Kong.

Few things I dislike about no frills carriers/flights

1. Tiger only has 15 KG of baggage allowance. this is ABSURD! *plus $25 for another 5KG additional weightage*
2. Both will not allow passengers to select preferred seat. SUXs *only for JetFlexi and limited flights*
3. Jetstar is more expensive than Tiger
4. You cannot eat your OWN food on both carriers. Hungry? then you'd have to pay about $8 for a sandwich. (Subway sells them soooo much cheaper and tastier!)
5. Limited seat pitch (seat space for your legs) So monkeys like me who have long legs... you will have a less comfortable flight.

Cos' my main concern was price $$$$$$, Im left with no choice but stick with Budget. =) I believe comfort can be compromised for better experiences gained and safer hotels (which means pricer hotels)

Be buying my tickets over the weekend. I can't wait. Watch for updates.
