Low cost Tiger Air to fly to 3 Chinese cities

flyguy · #1 22-02-2006, 03:13 PM

Good news and a cheaper flight to cheong come April2006 - as Tiger air will be flying to Guangzhou, Haikou (hainan) and Shenhzen. this would mean a considerable price difference and more affordability eg SIA's return flight to Guangzhou costs $700 (with all taxes included) and Tiger air is expected to be below $230 incl taxes and similiarly to Shenzhen. Currently Tiger air to macau is $195 incl taxes return trip.

Just timely, now I can plan my trip to go around this places at one go liao.

Via Tiger Airway to ShenZhen, then HongKong via train, later via ferry to Macau, from there via bus to Zhuhai, lastly take another one and half hour bus journey back to Guangzhou. Will return home from Guangzhou direct instead. I expect to spend 7 to 10 days there. Perhaps, 2 night at Shenzhen, 1 night at hongkong, 1 night at macau, 2 night at Zhuhai and 2 night at Guangzhou - total of 8 days, perhaps can spend 1 to 2 days to zhongguan to make it 10 days. [Maybe can skip Hongkong or cut down to 7 days will be suffice ].

Any good recommendation on the best budget for accomodation and transportation to go about to these places. Cheonging expenses is optional.

I confirm this guy is setting up a fake thread, I looking for air tickets for so long liao also cannot find that pricing. I called my friend (working in SIA) to chk, even he say not true cause only San Tong (三东) and Silkair fly to China Shenzhen. I donno much abt Guangzhou but if not wrong same same.

Thread starter u r a big ass in starting this kind of thread, for this I minus 1 point for u...

Hi Oak and SexC, it is confirmed from Chinadaily report and ST as listed lah... don't "fine" the thread starter

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english...ent_522637.htm
"....Tiger Airways will start flights to the southern Chinese cities of Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Haikou, Chief Executive Officer Tony Davis said.
The airline, which is also starting flights to the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, has separately asked Singapore authorities to let it fly to southern India, an approval that may pave the way for it to serve more cities in the country, he said...."

Unless the CEO bluff us and also this is subject to delivery of new planes to Tiger in April else it will delay the flight route few weeks-months.

Cheers...

p/s... don't depend on Tiger website lah... latest news info will not be shown and always outdated else their booking server system may "hang" due to overwhelm response.
