Conclusion

Tiger Airways [TT] was the convenient options for my requirement. I has selected Tiger Airways as it was cheapest among the available options.

On board service was minimal as most passengers were either resting or had food at the airport. Crew provided buy on board service.

IFE was not available on this flight.

Overall was satisfied with the flight as I was able to reach Melbourne on time.
