Jetstar Aisia Airways Review

Jetstar Aisia Airways is a branch of Qantas Airways from Australia that has the main hub in Singapore Changi Airport. Some weeks ago I flew through Jetstar Airways from Singapore to Bangkok on an Airbus A320 and I would like to share my impressions about this low cost air company.

My first contact with Jetstar was through their website where I had a first good impression about the company; they have an efficient and easy internet service, it´s easy to find the flights, choose the schedule and buy the ticket. You have the option to add baggage when you buy the tickets for a small extra fare, or you can choose to travel only with your hand baggage.

The company has a good staff at Singapore airport, the check-inn was quick, I didn´t have to wait longer in the queue to be attended. The flight departed and landed on time.

The service on flight has the same standard of other low cost companies; you need to pay for drinks or food. The flight attendants were polite; their uniform are simple but has a good look. The airplane looked clean and new.

I really liked the aircraft painting, it has a silver appearance, it’s simple, but very beautiful. Below you can see some pictures that I took from the airplane. You can see the painting and the seats.

I liked to fly with Jetstar Airways and comparing to other lowcost Asian airlines that I've tried, this one was that I  liked the most.

Tiger Airways and Singapore Budget Terminal

Tiger Airways is low cost airline based in Singapore that flies to many Asian destinations. The company uses the Singapore budget terminal as operational hub.

I flied three times with this company and I would like to share my impressions.

They have very good prices, it is one of the cheapest way to fly to other countries in Asia from Singapore, the service on flight is satisfactory. The interior of the airplane is simple but quite comfortable and clean, the flights were punctual, and as other low cost companies, they sell drinks and food on board. I didn’t like the flight attendant uniform, but it’s not relevant.

However, I need to comment about the budget terminal in Singapore where Tiger and other companies operates.

It’s not possible to compare the comfortable and sophisticated main terminals in Singapore with the budget terminal; it looks two totally different worlds. For some passengers it creates a bad impression about Singapore and about the airline companies that operates in that terminal.

Fortunately, the budget terminal is only a temporary solution in response to the emerging trend of low cost carriers in Asia. In September of 2012, they will close this terminal to build a new one.

I hope it will be in the same level of the other terminals, which makes the Changi International Airport in Singapore one of the bests in the world.
