A tiger is coming

[MeMock]

The Gods are indeed smiling on me.

Tiger airlines are now flying Singapore-darwin.

I just did a dummy run on their website and i can now leave darwin at 6am and arrive in Bangkok at 12.30pm for the grand total includibng all taxes of $188 = approx 5600 baht.

THATS RIGHT FOLKS, a return ticket down under from Bangers for 11,200 baht.

That sure beats 30,000 baht and a 12 hour stop over in brunei

Crap - I just realised with these prices people might actually come to my neck of the woods and therefore drop in, I better start collecting firewood so I can boil the billy.

PS - you can fly darwin to any other city in Australia for around $150 (4,500 baht) if the top end isnt to your liking.

Hmm.......drinkies at MeMocks?

If I was loaded I'd pack up the whole TD crew and make a surprise visit MeMock. I've a strange idea of fun.

[Marmite the Dog]

Singapore Air do a good deal to Perth, too. 14,500Baht return, but this deal looks excellent.

See you soon, MM!!

[MeMock]

Oh dear - what have I done.

I can just imagine, Poolie, Marmers, the dog and others around my place for a bbq and a few XXXX's (thats a beer before any of you ignoramus's get any ideas). What a hoot.

I just dunno what my wife and neighbours would think.

I really am exciting about this deal. Not only will it save me heaps but will cut the travelling time in half which now with a baby is an added bonus. Might even fly a few of the inlaws over for a holiday.

Now that i think about it most flights from any capital city in australia to bkk cost between $900 - $1200. (27000 - 36,000 baht) return. Booking online yourself with a half decent fair to Darwin would also save yourself bucket loads.

Plenty of jobs making good money are available here, pity that the weather/beer/cost of living/girls/did I mention the hot weather? really suck.

Just because I dont visit prostitutes and gogo bars doesnt mean I couldnt show you the time of your life.

DD.
we know the link to tiger airways
but if you click your own link
then: 'from' Bangkok
then: 'to'
you'll find the only place they fly from bangkok is singapore

hence my request for a link

Just use their scroll down menu for destination and departue

[MeMock]

Just finished booking a trip to Thailand for 2 weeks time. Using tiger to Singapore then Air asia to Bangkok. Heaps cheaper.

[klongmaster]

sorry.. i thought you meant you could fly direct Darwin/ Bkk
and i was looking but couldn't find it
Darwin/singapore with tiger will be okay
sing/bkk with airasia you had better pray for a lucky day...especially traveling with the sprog...AA are notoriously late.late.late..especially out of singgapore

hope you have a good flight

[MeMock]

Cheers Klongy.

Yeah no direct flights like you said. Tiger do fly from Sing to Bkk but they dont match up very well. I have flown Air Asia a fair bit and they have always been on or close to being on time - mind you I havent flown with them out of Singapore.

They do leave from changi dont they and not across the border?

At this stage we have a 2 hr wait in Singapore and on the way back we could have had a 1 hr late but I thought that was cutting it a bit fine so I booked an earlier one - 4 hr wait now.

Not bad for $1,300 incl everything for 2 adults and a infant - thats 39,000 baht or there abouts.

I also booked a leg for us all from Bkk to Ubon for the grand total of 99baht each + taxes. Of course the infant is charged at 20% of the normal rate so our 8 week old cost 250 baht - go figure! Still I;m not complaining considering for less then $100 aus (3000 baht) we all fly return.

compare this to us getting to Darwin. We fly in a brasillia turbo prop 20 odd seat plane. We travel the same distance as going from bkk to ubon and we pay 9 times as much!!

you're right..the internal flights are usually the most expensive..& the most uncomfortable part of flying

I thought Air Asia flew to the Malaysian airport on the border. I would double check that mate.

[MeMock]

Crikey I hope not as everything is booked and paid for. I know that they used to but read somewhere that they are now at changi.

Anyone out there know for sure?

[Marmite the Dog]

Well, I checked their website for about 20 seconds and it does go to Singapore Changi (SIN) Airport.

That wasn't so difficult, was it?

[MeMock]

Nope, not when you did it for me.

Cheers marmers

[Marmite the Dog]

OK. That's a pint you owe me.

Cheers!

[MeMock]

I can handle that. Hoping we can catch up so you can introduce me to some 'real beer' - first shout is mine.
