expired Tiger Airways Australia: SYD-MKY from $9.95!
This was posted 5 months 14 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
ONE DAY SALE.
I am sure someone might find this useful. For those who have a gripe with Tiger, go one better with Jetstar who will price beat it by 10%.

That short taxi ride is more expensive than going to Sydney in this case.
-2 votesThat's assuming he makes it with tiger.
Taxi is probably more reliable in my actual experience.
Cheaper too as you won't run the very real risk of having to a ticket with another airline at short notice just so you don't get there 3 days late. Again, only based on my actual experience.
greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 10:38 ¶What's unclear about
Melbourne <-> Sydney?
These days a "return" is simply two singles. There is no discount for booking a "return".
ilikedeals on 08/12/2012 - 21:36 ¶1) Yes (carry on is ALWAYS included!)
2) Sounds like deal is one-way only so return looks likely to be $29 or $39 for those months in 2013
3) No

2) Both ways, from their front page and trying out some dates.
- greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 10:40 ¶
2) It is both ways, just try it yourself. I mean really, try it yourself. I put in 23 and 24 July 2013 and it was $9.95 each way.
Puff Braddy on 08/12/2012 - 21:25 ¶Is that Jetstar a 24/7 number to call up and get them to price match? Would much rather fly with them.
+6 voteshaha, 4/6 of my Jetstar flights this year were delayed by 2 hours or more and 1 got cancelled…, never again !!!, probably Virgin is a better bet, but I'd give Tiger my sale this time, aggressive pricing is the only reason air travel has become cheap, if we don't back such firms who initiate this, they'll eventually die and the inevitable price rise with takeoff !
- Puff Braddy on 08/12/2012 - 23:00 ¶
That's bad >_< I've never had a delay with Jetstar. would prefer to fly Virgin as well, have never flown Tiger but from all the bad things I've heard, I said I'd never give them my business.. Might be breaking that word with this bargain though.
- greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 17:21 ¶
I haven't had a serious delay with Jetstar or Virgin but they annoyed me by changing the flight time, once earlier this year and again for next year. In the first case they made it earlier which made a connection impossible so I had to opt for an hours later flight, losing touring time at the destination. The second case was not so bad, only pushed forward 1/2 hour.

SYD-Mackay is $9.95 on Monday for travel 17 December and 25 December 2012.
Really? Must be all gone because the cheapest I see is $49.95 in each direction around those dates.
showmethedeals on 08/12/2012 - 22:49 ¶Same here but I looked at syd to melb route. Is there something I'm missing here to not get the price? Maybe the prices appear once Sunday comes?

Don't worry, man. Just make sure your life insurance policy is in order.

Wow, 1 night in Melbourne (depart Tuesday, return flight on Wednesday) for $19.90
Plus it's not some random 5am or 9pm flight!No need to book accommodation - staying up all night (crown casino etc)
WHAT A BARGAIN! So KEEN!
Thanks OP! 
peterpeterpumpkin on 09/12/2012 - 08:01 ¶Did you miss the ME Bank Mastercard debit deal?
www.ozbargain.com.au/node/81565
At first I only ordered the card for the free $50, but then I kept it when I realised I could save $15 on Tiger flights.
There are no monthly fees and just like the amazing Citibank debit card you can make free withdrawals at Westpac ATMs.
- greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 05:59 ¶
SYD-Mackay is $9.95 on Monday for travel 17 December and 25 December 2012.
Anybody found this? Is there a trick to get it to appear? Though $49.95 is a good price for that distance.
- greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 08:24 ¶
Yes, I have tried 17th and 24th and it's still $49.95. Did you actually try it?
I wonder where the OP got this info. It's not mentioned anywhere and certainly not in the bargains summary.
But I've lost interest since looking at the Mackay Wiki page. There is one NP within driving distance and the Whitsundays, but not much to do in the town itself.
Edit: Ah, I see maybe the OP means the sale opens tomorrow, Monday. An unfortunate phrasing since 17th and 24th happen to be Monday also.
- greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 09:35 ¶
Looking forward to that. Hope the cheap destinations are more interesting. Nothing wrong with Melbourne, just that I'm already headed there in Feb.
+2 votesThis is seriously the best deal I have seen on OzBargain. My wife and I along with my kids have been wanting to go to Sydney for a while. I have an Australian Debit Mastercard which meant no Booking Fee. All up return it cost me $99 for a family of 5!
The bus that goes past my house drops me off right next to Tiger airlines and I only pay Zone 2 prices, so this is seriously a cheap trip for us.
The flight times is awesome too! No 5:30 AM trips. Mel-Syd is 11 AM, and return is 7:45 which isn't too bad. Now if anyone knows some cheap decent accomidation and car hire, this might be a cool trip after all. We booked in Sep 2013 which is perfect up in Sydney.
+4 votespeterlong1952 on 09/12/2012 - 08:00 ¶Sounds great, until you get to Sydney. Train Airport to City $61.70 for 2 Adults & 3 Children.
And that is only ONE way.

:) I think Sydney's antedated and illogical transport system kills the buzz for everyone.
Does it take 3 buses and 1 train to reach your destination? Not only will you suffer a longer trip with a lot of changes but you'll also need to pay for 4 separate trips. And of course the MyMulti Day Pass is there for $21, unlimited travel as far as you want - but why not sell a "MyMulti 1" day pass for less when that's all I'll need (especially when I can get a WEEKLY ticket for $43). Or just an unlimited ticket for buses, like in London (or give us any other logical public transport incentive seen almost EVERYWHERE else).
Did you book a full-price return ticket from Central to Parramatta to save time later on for yourself and others? Bad move. Now you wish to return to Bondi Junction but you have the wrong station listed on your destination. B..but it's the same price anyway, $4.80 mister? Too bad, you need to fork out another $3.40 (that's right, almost the same price as the original!). In fact, anytime you wish to extend your trip by 1 stop we'll charge you the full-fare as well, to teach you a lesson for not planning your whole life in advance.
Do you work 3 days a week to make ends meet? Sucks to be you. Your bill comes to $42, so logically you wouldn't spend $43 on a weekly ticket. But unfortunately your girlfriend decides to go to Manly on Sunday - $14 return. $1 didn't look so bad now, did it.
Planning to ride your bike to and from the train stations during peak hour. You'll still inconvenience everyone either way with our lack of a bike carriage but we'll charge you a child fare on top to teach you a lesson trying to save money on buses.
I could go on and on about travel tens and "sections" but I think that's enough venting for one morning.
- +1 votepeterlong1952 on 09/12/2012 - 09:59 ¶
But if you travel on Sunday a family with children under 16 can use the whole network of trains, buses and ferries for $2.50 each using a Funday Sunday ticket. Logical not.
- greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 10:17 ¶
But you'd still be up for normal weekday transport on the other leg, unless staying 7 days or multiples of. Anyway the lack of a combined ticket is one of the most antiquated things about the Sydney network. Maybe the Opal card might work.
Edit: Plus, the Mel <-> Syd fares are only for Tue and Wed.
- greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 09:27 ¶
That's useful to know! Wish I knew that when I booked a few months ago.
warrenkole on 09/12/2012 - 09:56 ¶I used my 28 degrees mastercard to pay for some Tiger flights back in August and they definitely charged the ridiculous $7.50 per sector per person fees ($60 for 4 return flights).
I'd love to be proven wrong, but I doubt Tiger has changed their policies in the last few months.
- greenpossum on 09/12/2012 - 11:05 ¶
Hey Skystar, you seem to know so I'll ask some questions to satisfy my curiosity. Are these sales desperation tactics? I mean they are committing to losing better paying bookings on these flights so are they not sure they'll be in business? Or do they know from history that they'll never fill mid-week flights so might as well get some publicity? Or maybe they know that they won't sell these out since not everybody can commit to a date 6 months or more ahead?
