</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I AM submitting this letter as a public service to provide what I would call a consumer alert associated with Tiger Airways.
On Oct 11, my family and I were to fly to Phuket for a four-day vacation. When we awoke at 5am, we found my daughter had flu-like symptoms and a fever over 38 deg C. Fearing that she might have Influenza A (H1N1), we decided to cancel our trip.
I arrived at Changi Airport at 6.30am and approached the Tiger Airways ticket agent to explain the situation. She said she could not help me and referred me to the Tiger Airways customer service counter where again, the staff were of no help.
We contacted Tiger Airways via fax on Oct 13 and submitted documentation from my daughter's doctor which indicated she could not have flown between Oct 11 and Oct 15.
We were not trying to get a refund but hoped Tiger Airways would give us the option to reschedule our trip, given our situation. Tiger Airways did not respond. We again tried to contact Tiger Airways via fax on Oct 26 and still received no response.
On Nov 2, I managed to get a Tiger Airways representative on the phone and was basically told the company policy was that, contagious or not, passengers must fly or forfeit their plane tickets. Despite this conversation, I made a final attempt to contact Tiger Airways by fax on Nov 4 and again received no response.
I find the manner in which Tiger Airways conducts its business appalling and in complete contrast to the service we have received in the past. Given this 'fly no matter what or lose your money' policy, the objective of this letter is to make future Tiger Airways customers aware that when flying Tiger Airways, they could be putting their health at risk.
