Tiger Airways has announced that it will charge for all checked baggage for bookings from today – on both its domestic and international networks.
The carrier claims the move will ensure that “customers only pay for what they need. Unlike other airlines that hide the cost of checked baggage into tickets whether you use it or not, Tiger Airways will separate the fee,” a statement said.
Under the new policy fares include 7kg of free cabin baggage plus a free handbag and a laptop.
Charges of $5 per passenger per flight will apply for up to 15kg of checked baggage, with various “upsize” options giving passengers a choice of up to 30kg allowance, which costs $40 extra.
Online booking for the standard 15kg costs $5 – compared to $20 at the airport if not pre-booked.
