My word of advice to all budget airline travellers, do reconfirm your flights at least two days before you travel in case there are schedule changes you are not aware of.
Check http://www.changiairport.com.sg for departure from Singapore and while checking in for your flight, double-check the return (assuming your trip is less than a week) at the check-in counter before you depart.

Tiger Airways, Singapore's very own budget airline. Its the first time i've ever sat in anything other than an SIA plane in 3 years and a budget offering at that.
The first few things you notice is that there's free seating but seats can be allocated at a premium price. I managed to get a special discounted price for Western Australia at $650 to and fro with no additional airport tax or anything like that. Which i still find, is a pretty good deal given that no other airline i've checked can match that.
The second thing i noticed is that there's no free food and no free drinks and entertainment. Which was quite a shock since the journey is 5 hours and there was nothing to do. Worst of all is how dry the air in the plane is. You'll have to drink or face the dryness of it all. Its not really a choice in the end.
The planes are of a smaller variety and thus leg room is limited. Its also quite wobbly during take off and during flight which makes it rather difficult to sleep.
As a budget offering, its not too bad. Just that i'm too used to being pampered with unlimited drinks and entertainment. That said, i'll probably stick to SIA in future. Cheers and kudos to Tiger Airways still .

Flew Tiger Airways to Bangkok in December 2006. The flight attendants were friendly and helpful, although I hated the idea of free-seating as the other passengers simply shoved and pushed their way through the queue. :( I didn't like the fact that they had very limited food on board, and the high costs for them. I bought a sandwich for more than S$4 on my return flight and though it tasted well, I felt that it was not worth the price.

I'd flown Tiger Airways several times and mainly it's because of the cheap air tickets. Nothing else.
The seats are small and you can hardly recline them. Absolutely not comfortable for any trips longer than 2hrs. The row of seat in front of the emergency exit can't recline at all! Leg room is really small, even for people with short legs like me. The seats with more leg room are usually reserved (you can pay a premium when booking the tickets for these seats with more leg room). There's no inflight entertainment or meals. If you're hungry, the selection of food is really limited (usually instant noodles or fried rice ONLY) and be prepared to pay a higher price than what you pay on the ground. The flight attendants are also not very friendly and sometimes scold the passengers quite loudly. Remember to bring your own pens to fill in the arrival papers as the flight attendants do not have any pens on board to lend you!
Tiger Airways is good for getting from one point to another cheap but do not expect any thing more.
If you're looking at securing the cheapest tickets from Tiger, new promotions are on every Monday so visit the website early Monday morning to get the best deals!
