Tiger's domestic sale(s)

[skeeo]

This current sale really pisses me off because their schedule for Canberra to Melb only goes up to 3rd October 2009 - so why the hell advertise it for all the way until end of march 2010.

"Buy between 23 Jun 09 and 25 Jun 09, or until seats sell out. Conditions apply. Valid for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only, from 04 August 2009 to 27 March 2010."

On their 'Real Deals' page it shows Canberra as only being valid until October 3, so they're not wrong, albeit a tad misleading on the front page.

Some very good deals in this one. Booking a $60 return trip to Sydney for a conference later this year

Bit of a chance Canberra will finish in October, loads are great on Fridays and Sundays, but the rest of the week drags it down. I understand Canberra also has substantially higher airport costs than other Tiger ports....not a recipe for success.

Expect a Cairns announcement within the next month though, and 2 other new ports all to commence early December.

Tiger Airways yet to confirm Canberra plans


http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/news/general/tiger-airways-yet-to-confirm-canberra-plans/1578036.aspx

TIGER Airways has denied a delay in revealing flight scheduling signals the death of services to and from Canberra.No flights from Canberra are listed on the budget airline's website beyond October 3.
The Sunday Canberra Times understands the airline was expected to have uploaded its schedule by the end of May or early June.
Competitors Virgin Blue and Qantas have already unveiled schedules covering flights through to the middle of 2010.
Airline spokeswoman Vanessa Regan denied rumours the Canberra services would be canned after October 3, and said the company was preparing the schedule beyond that date.
She was unable to explain the delay, other than to say a new aircraft was due to join the fleet.

interesting news that they don't plan on pulling out of canberra though the delay in releasing a schedule probably means drastically cut frequency of flights
