我们是5月10日早上走,12日晚上回。整整三天在那里。55单程,这个价钱偶觉得和以前别人订得29单程还是没法比,可想想算了,再等下去可能这个价钱也没了。

具有新加坡航空公司背景的新加坡廉价航空公司虎航(Tiger Airways)昨天宣布,虎航计划延伸航线进入澳洲国内市场,加入与现有经营者的竞争。预计今年晚些时候虎航的进入将引发新一轮惨烈的国内航线价格战。
虎航暗示,一些国内航线的票价将低至$10刀以下!
同样以廉价机票著称的Jetstar届时将棋逢对手,而消费者则大受裨益。
New airline hints at $10 fares
February 10, 2007 12:00am
TIGER Airways Australia has hinted it will offer fares of less than $10 when it launches its low-cost operation later this year.
Singapore-backed Tiger yesterday announced plans to break the Virgin Blue-Qantas duopoly and provide more than 1000 jobs.
While chief executive Tony Davis would not reveal ticket prices on the new carrier, he said some fares could be "single-digit" before taxes and charges.
"There will be significantly lower fares," he said. "I think people in Australia are fed up with having to pay such high fares, fed up that they can't get the same kind of deals domestically that they get when they fly with people like Tiger Airways internationally, and our new domestic airline will ensure low fares come into Australia."
Singapore-based Tiger already operates from Singapore to Darwin, and is currently offering $40 one-way fares. It intends to start serving Perth next month.
It is applying for regulatory permission to set up a domestic operation that will operate as a separate carrier. It is likely to begin with five Airbus A320 aircraft.
Mr Davis was coy about what routes the planes would fly, but said Tiger would be a national carrier that would look at regional and secondary airports as well as core markets.
The announcement was welcomed by Tourism Minister Fran Bailey, who said the new airline would provide a welcome boost to the domestic tourism market.
Ms Bailey said low-cost carriers had changed the face of tourism by making available interstate holidays that were once out of the reach of many families.
"The potential entry of another low-cost carrier could deliver a welcome boost to the domestic tourism industry, which has struggled in recent years from tough competition from plasma TVs and other consumables," she said.
Virgin Blue did not comment but Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon expressed confidence his airline would take the additional competition in its stride.
Tiger has been flying since September 2004 to destinations in Asia. It is 49 per cent owned by Singapore Airlines. Other investors include the Singapore Government's investment arm Temasek Holdings, US private investment firm Indigo partners and a family company of Ryanair founder Tony Ryan.
