Budget carrier Tiger Airways to fly to the Philippines in April
03/16 10:00:40 AM

SINGAPORE (AFP) - Singapore-based regional budget airline Tiger Airways on
Wednesday began selling tickets for flights to the Philippines to be
launched next month.

The airline will fly three times weekly from April 5 to Clark Field, a
former US air force base some 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Manila that
has been converted into a commercial airport.

The Singapore-based carrier will raise the frequency of the flights to five
times a week in June, it said in a statement.

Fares for a one-way trip to Clark Field will start from 25.98 Singapore
dollars (16 dollars US).

More than 90,000 Filipinos reside in Singapore, according to the Philippine
embassy.

Singapore is also used as a travel hub by Filipinos working in other
countries in Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

Tiger Airways currently flies to Bangkok, Phuket, Hatyai and Chiang Mai.

It will start flying to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Macau next month.

The carrier, 49-percent owned by Singapore Airlines, is in competition with
an array of budget airlines in the region, including Singapore-based
Valuair, Qantas-backed Jetstar Asia and Malaysia's AirAsia.

Yaw ko sa Singapore. Mahal na bilihin, masusungit pa mga Singaporean. That is, as far as my last visit went, which was seven years ago.

mura a, cgurado ba makakarating sa pupuntahan? hehehe

[mazdamazda]

wow... the budget airlines are coming here... no frills service (no seat number, no complimentary drinks / food / etc)!!!

$16? less than P1K!

IMO, shopping sucks in Singa... though the tourist sites are ok...

though with rates that cheap, you can get a connecting flight to Bangkok with those budget airlines...

[ILuvDetailing]

Parang mas gusto ko sa Bangkok... namimiss ko na yung red light district hahaha

[BlueBimmer]

ok uli to pang stop over nyahahaha

[the_wildthing]

No seat number? Hirap yata nun. Baka ma-standing room only ka nyan... hahaha

[mantoy]

ok sana kaso bat sa clark field? patok yan kung sa naia meron din.

Clark? Dahil mas mura landing fee (cguro) at cater nya passengers from Northern Luzon.

Good news to sa mga OFW d2 sa Singapore.

ayos naman ang budget airlines. although you cant expect much from the service. 1st come, 1st serve sa seating arrangements (free seating) & no free food/drinks (you got to buy them from the stewardess, mero silang 'menu' its safe & efficient. the fares are really cheap! last time na bumyahe ako, mas mahal pa ang airport tax kaysa airfare e.

[nitrox]

as per experience, in order to take advantage of the cheap air tickets (from AirAsia in this case), you have to make plans/bookings 1 month ahead (or more). i was planning to go to phuket but the longer i waited for the cheapest fare to get published sa website, the more expensive the fare became. meron silang quota for a specific number of seats for specific prices. so in the end, i had to pay P2K more for the ticket..sigh..

by the way, yung airplane na sinakyan ko dati is a 737, similar to what PAL uses in its Mla-KL route. 6 seats per row, with an aisle in the middle.

ung AirAsia Mla-KL merong shuttle service to/fro Clark-SM Megamall for P300 lang. philtranco daw ang bus service. but if anybody has any info on parking location & rates in Clark, please let us know.

Di nga lang daw maglaland, may drop zone at kanya-kanyang parachute :P

[cyberdoc95]

Mas mahal pa yata ang gastos sa morning coffee ko in a week!! He he he!!

Does anyone know if there is parking available at clark airport?
I'll be taking TIGERAIRWAYS to Sing later this month. Cost is only P3,680.00 all in. (It would have been only P3,000 if I caught the promo last week).

Anyway, I want to take my car to Clark and leave it there until I come back (be gone for 5 days!). Hopefully a secure pay parking area.

Thanks!

i tried booking again just to check the rates. mukhang nagmahal na.
s$129! i think fully booked na ang discount seats (there's a limit per flight).
I suggest you try different dates between Mon-thur and see the rate.
Mukhang puno na til October dahil sa S$9.98 promo last week. Just try anyway. And check the site once in a while for new promos tigerairways.com
