BUDGET AIRLINES
The three main popular budget airlines in Singapore..
1. Jetstar (http://www.jetstarasia.com/)
2. Air Asia (http://www.airasia.com/)
3. Tiger Airways (http://www.tigerairways.com/)
4. Scoot (www.flyscoot.com)
Tips:
1. Please check all 4 websites for the best rates and flight timing.
2. Rmb that for budget airlines, you can "mix and match". Meaning, you can book a depart tix from Jetstar and a return tix from Airasia. Doing so basically either helps in reducing the cost or provide you with another return flight option.
3. From my own experience, if you are someone who needs to visit the bathroom frequently, please BOOK the AISLE seat. Forget the window seat. Trust me. Moving in and out of your seat is pratically impossible w/o your neighbor getting up and moving out. After you are done, they will have to get up and let you in.. Alright, you shld get the picture.
Two more budget flights..
1. Lion Air (http://www.lionair.co.id/) (which i have boycott due to BAD cust svc)
2. Firefly (http://www.fireflyz.com.my/)
Lion Air travel to some parts of Indonesia and Firefly to Malaysia.
Note: It is best to book with your credit card instead of your debit card. I am not sure of the system now but previously I book with my debit card with Lion Air, and the webpage rejected my card stating they do not accept debit card.. However... My Card was CHARGED!!!
I have to travel down to their main office and the refund period took me 6 months!! Yes!! 6 months!! You have to explain everything again when you call them.. Boo..
REGULAR AIRLINES
Regular airlines provides one-way ticket but at a "I'll rather pay for a return ticket" price but Malaysia Air occasionally provides one-way ticket at a one-way ticket price~~
Tips:
1. To compare rates and to see which airline travel to your destination, use http://www.zuji.com.sg/ .
2. After choosing the airline, compare the rate given in the main airline official website.
3. For airlines such as China Eastern etc, rates may be cheaper when you book online with Zuji.
