"online check-in was unavailable"
Ben Han (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | I booked tickets from Narita to Taipei. I flew into Narita from the US. An airport employee told us to go through the transfer gates for our connecting flight. We showed up at the gate an hour and a half before boarding. The employee refused to print out our tickets and let us board. He said that we had to go through customs and check-in at the counter outside. This was not stated on our tickets. And we tried to check-in online but the Tigerair manager working there said the online check-in was unavailable due to COVID. We had to book a different airline and Tigerair refused to give us our tickets or money back.

"poor quality of ground staff service"
K Olivia (United States)
Not Verified | Unorganized ground staff at check-in counter flight Don Muang to Taipei for 11/07/2022 @11 pm. Information was not cleared indicating regarding Japan Covid restrictions. Did not provide alternate options for rescheduling or cancellation due to unknown circumstances. Taipei airport, poor quality of ground staff service especially guidelines for passengers.

"service is absolutely rubbish"
G Shaw (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | Melbourne to Brisbane with Tigerair. If it was possible to give this sad excuse of an airline a rating in the negatives, I would. Their service is absolutely rubbish! Staff are incapable of answering simple questions and completely incompetent in dealing with simple customer service queries. The lady I spoke to at Melbourne airport literally asked me to step aside so she could help the next customer because she didn't want to answer my query. Rude and belligerent. Online web check in wasn't working at all for my flight. No information given on ticket regarding gate closing times, no willingness to justify the lack of organisation and information! Plane was uncomfortable and had the bare minimum, with no complimentary services. Plane staff were snobby and dismissive. Awful experience, never flying with Tiger. You're better off throwing the money in the bin.

"Family separated by seating"
Steve Thomas (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | Melbourne to Cairns. Delayed as per normal. Family separated by seating. Customers all grumpy as staff had them enter wrong door on plane. Putting conflict front passengers trying to get to front from rear and rear passengers trying to get to back from front on instruction from crew?

"Staff were lazy and unhelpful"
G Keane (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | Adelaide to Melbourne. Staff were lazy and unhelpful. They appeared more interested in selling extras and assessing baggage weight than providing service. While nobody expects luxury from a budget airline courtesy shouldn't be dependent on ticket price.

"bad reviews are spot on"
C Farmer (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | Melbourne to Sydney. Why does Tigerair still exist? Always thought the bad reviews were over the top. Wrong! Reviews are spot on. Flight TT254 was on time and we were at the gate lined up to get on the plane - then the plane was delayed for an unknown reason and finally canceled. Magically, the Sydney plane, with the issue, was now going to Adelaide and all the Sydney passengers had been transferred to later Virgin Australia flights. I just hope this was not Virgin Australia (owner of Tigerair) filling up their later flights to Sydney to save a dollar at the expense of their passengers!

"their service to customers is unfair"
H Ng (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | I bought a return ticket from Brisbane to Sydney (28 Sep 2019) and Sydney back to Brisbane (29 Sep 2019) with Tigerair almost two months ago (8 August 2019). On Saturday 28 Sep I flew to Sydney on schedule. Then I received an announcement that the Flight on 29 Sep back to Brisbane (TT374) was cancelled due to engineering requirements and postponed to Monday 30 Sep at 13.40pm. Thus, I stayed in Sydney one more day. On Monday morning, I got to the airport early, and found that the flight TT368 was cancelled also due to engineering requirements. The announcement reached my mobile phone at 10.39am 29 Sep. The available flight is on Thursday. I requested a Tigerair staff to buy a ticket for me back to Brisbane as I could not stay in Sydney longer, and I had to fly back to Brisbane on that day, otherwise, I would give a negative review. However, the staff did not care and said that he only could send me a refund. In the end, I bought the last seat available from Sydney to Brisbane with Virgin Australia at $375.00! I do not know whether the Fair Trading can force Tigerair to pay for my extra airfare. Tigerair is not reliable, and their service to customers is unfair.

"disgrace of an airline"
Ivan Tompkins (United Kingdom)
Not Verified | Sydney to Brisbane. Absolute disgrace of an airline. Cancelled flight. Best option they could give was a flight 2 days later. No good if you have a connecting flight. Will definitely not use again.

"a lovely flight"
72 reviews David Robson (United States)
Not Verified | This was a lovely flight from Hobart to the Gold Coast on Tigerair. Boarding was orderly. We walked to the plane and boarded through the rear. I had row to myself in the second last row. I will travel with them again.

"staff were very professional"
Melissa Beville (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | I unfortunately missed my flight by minutes! However, the staff were very professional, reassuring and efficient in helping me to rectify my mistake. I would like to thank those staff members from the bottom of my heart for making what seemed impossible, possible! What a great team of people there is at Gold Coast airport! Thank you again
