TigerAir delay 12 no drink no food.

[Cestbon]

SINGAPORE : A Tiger Airways flight from Bangkok to Singapore was delayed for more than 12 hours.

Some 50 irate passengers were unhappy with the way the problem was handled.

One passenger, Moses De Laure, said: "They made us wait for about an hour. Then they said that there are some problems with the flight. Then they said we have to wait for another half an hour, and that half an hour turned out to be five hours on the plane alone. And they never offered a drink."

Passengers said Tiger Airways flight number TR2105 was supposed to leave Bangkok on Wednesday afternoon.

The airline had told them if the delay lasted till midnight, they would arrange accommodation.

But nothing happened as Tiger Airways staff said the Singapore side did not make any arrangements.

Meal coupons were given out to each passenger.

The flight finally took off at 2.50am on Thursday and the plane landed at 6am.

However, more than half of the passengers onboard refused to leave the plane, demanding a proper explanation and compensation.

Security personnel were called in and the passengers were asked to leave.

Tiger Airways said a technical fault caused the delay and it has apologised for the inconvenience caused.

they should not complain, they paid peanuts and get what they paid for.

Title reads "no drink no food"!

So the meal coupon given out to each passenger is for what purpose? Buy perfume?

Agreed. But, I think the pax deserve better information and at least some water.....

I'm surprised people are still flying Tiger Airways for budget air travel.

Will it hurt you to fly Jetstar or AirAsia? Is the discount from Tiger Airways so substantial?

Tiger Airways would have been out of business long ago had it not been for GLC money propping it up.

Tiger never fails to surprise me with all their fiascos

Flight delays happen to many airlines. I was once delayed on an Airasia flight. However they did warn the passengers & provided meal voucher.

normal airline, if there is a delay for too long, it will find you a hotel room, which is paid by them, they will find another plane, or book you with another airline.
Budget airline will give you the finger.
