We want to continue to offer the low, low fares that Tiger Airways is famous for. A heavy aircraft will burn more fuel than a lighter one. More luggage increases aircraft weight. When you bring only what you need, this brings down the operating cost for Tiger Airways. The Luggage Upsize™ is priced to be affordable and when you bring only what you need, you help make the system more efficient for everyone and this brings down the operating cost for Tiger Airways.
