Tiger Airways: $25 flights from Sydney to Melbourne, however…

Tiger Airways have launched a ‘tax only’ (ie. no fare, only airport fees and taxes) seat sale, with a release of 30,000 seats across their Australian network at very friendly prices. The catch – sale fares are for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, being the “cheap” airfare days for good reason. Sale is on now until 27 July or until sold out, for departures from 13 October 2009 to 27 March 2010.

That said, we all thought the $39 Sydney – Melbourne fares were already crazy, so they’re even harder to overlook at $25. I think these ‘tax only’ sales are a great development on the heels of Tiger Airways’ and AirAsia’s rediculous Asian fare sales and will hopefully lead to cheaper international links, too. Not that my travel agent friends want to hear that.

Check out Adioso for choice Tuesday/Wednesday/Saturday fares, plus Tiger Airways sale page for details and to book.

Update (24/07/09): Fares are also available on Saturdays, too. Check the Adioso link above for departures. Nice!
