Tiger - if you don't catch it, you will get caught!

Tiger - if you don't catch it, you will get caught!

My daughter and her boy friend came back from their holidays from Gold Coast using Tiger. They arrived the air-port two hours before and they found a long queue as usual. Then, they waited in the queue patiently for their turns.

When they arrived the counter, they were told that the check-in was closed few minutes ago and their non-refund tickets were void. Their seats were sold to other stand-by passengers.

They were asked if they wanted to buy another tickets for the next flight. They over heard from the counters that there were only five seats left for the next flight. So, they ended up to pay double for their trip.

Good business tricks.

1. They opened three counters. One for the express and two for the normal check-ins. One of the two normal counters had always busy with the terminals and barely functioning. Then, they could dictate the check-in rate over the counter within 1&1/2 hours of the check-in time slot. In other words, they can decide how many passengers to go through the normal counters. It is the passenger's responsibility to arrive at the counter before the time dead line. They can re-sale the paid seats to other stand-by passengers.

2. In case you were a hot tamper passenger, they can ignore you by saying "We will not deal with the passenger with attitude problem". Then they will ask you to step aside with their cold faces. You will face huge pressure from the large passengers queue and the cold counters. You feel like a hot monkey in the circuit.

3. They offer the lower ticket rate to attract passengers and charge other service separately.

So, you need to think twice before you go travel next time.
