Tiger Airways
Tiger Airways operates as a low‑cost short‑haul carrier from Singapore Changi (SIN), positioned to offer no‑frills point‑to‑point service within the region. From a traveler’s perspective, it is a budget option for short regional hops where ticket price is the primary driver, with most ancillary services offered à la carte rather than included in the base fare.
Frequent Flyer Program
This airline does not operate a traditional proprietary frequent‑flyer program aimed at earning tier status and award redemptions like full‑service carriers; loyalty benefits are therefore limited compared with network carriers. If you value earning miles or tier credits, check whether flights can be credited to partner programs or consider booking with an airline that participates in a major alliance.
Where Tiger Airways Flies
The carrier is based at Singapore Changi (SIN) and focuses on short‑haul, point‑to‑point flights from there to destinations across Southeast Asia and nearby countries. Service is oriented toward regional leisure and business travelers rather than long‑haul networks; connectivity beyond the carrier’s own routes is typically achieved through partner arrangements or booking separate onward flights.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes
The airline operates a short‑haul low‑cost model and uses narrow‑body, single‑aisle jets for point‑to‑point regional routes rather than widebody long‑haul aircraft. Cabins are configured for a single economy class with no dedicated premium cabins, so amenities and seat space are basic compared with full‑service carriers.
Aircraft types operated: Boeing 777, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Airbus A319, Airbus A320 family, Airbus A321neo, Airbus A320neo
Tips for Flying Tiger Airways
- Confirm baggage allowances and pay for checked bags when booking, as base fares on this carrier typically exclude checked luggage.
- Reserve seats in advance if you want a specific seat - free standard seat assignment is often not included with the lowest fares.
- Check-in online before arrival; airport check-in desks may close earlier than for full-service carriers.
- Bring your own food for longer sectors, as complimentary meals are usually not provided on low-cost short-haul flights.
- Compare total price (fare plus bags, seat selection and payment fees) with full-service competitors before booking to ensure you’re getting the best value.
