SIN-PER-SIN has long been cheaper than PER-SIN-PER. No-one has ever really given me much of an explanation as to why. But I know people that have to travel to SIN regularly often have a PER-SIN-PER with the return journey much later and nest SIN-PER-SIN trips in the middle of it.

I don't travel that regularly but I purchase my flights from SIN as well as they are much cheaper. The last one was SIN-PER-SYD-PER-SIN with the return trip SYD-PER-SIN to be taken in April.

Tiger to tear up Aussie air market - Business - Business - smh.com.au

Now confirmed, they'll be here by the end of the year... I get the feeling the launch will make JQ's $29 launch sale look expensive!

So much for the speculation about a link with SkyWest though:

"It is not Tiger Airways' general policy to comment on press speculation but the company can confirm that it is not in any form of discussions with Skywest or its holding company Advent Air," the airline said in a statement.

Wow they've moved fast.

In related news, the Australian government is set to pass a bill that allows foreign carriers carbotage rights on transcontinental domestic routes.

An interesting list available from their listbox. I wonder how many people will vote for Parburdoo or Horn Island?

Jetstar has been quick to respond to Tiger Airways plans to enter the domestic airline market after announcing its largest sale since its launch three years ago.

Just one day after offering 22,000 $22 one-way domestic airfares, the Qantas low-cost subsidiary is now launched a 500,000 seat sale offering two tickets for the price of one.

On certain dates and days, a pair of flyers can travel from Sydney-Ballina/Byron Bay for $39.50 each one-way, Sydney-Sunshine Coast for $44.50 each or Sydney-Cairns for $74.50 each.

But the airline has denied the sale is aimed to spoil Tiger's planned launch later this year.

"We tend to do sales on milestone days, like for Valentine's Day - it's also about not being predictable and catching people unawares," said Jetstar spokeswoman Simone Pregellio.
Hmm...what milestone is it today.... Is it the Tiger airways launch day
