Further to my post of Aug 20th,comes the news that Tiger has cancelled over 40 flights as per Straits Times and other sources.Follow link.http://sg.yfittopostblog.com/2010/10/02/thousands-stranded-as-tiger-air-cancels-flights/
I hope Tiger recovers quickly,but passengers may not forgive it so easily.In the meantime Jetstar has announced the launch of flights to NZ,hope the fares remain low.

Air India,Mumbai Airport
Just returned from a trip to India,chose Air India for the international segment and Jet Airways for the domestic.
Air India deployed a 777ER on the Mumbai Singapore sector and Sin -Mum sector.The aircraft was fairly new,well maintained but was pretty empty,maybe it will go back to Indian Airlines.
Air India takes a long time to credit membership points and there are no reminders for lapsing mileage.
Mumbai Airport was chaotic for the International to Domestic transfers,with limited options if one has to spend long hours at the airport.
Bhopal Airport was small and effective.Hope to see better connectivity in the near future though,the new terminal is almost ready.
The left luggage system at the Mumbai airport is not effective as it is at the arrival hall of domestic and inside security.
On International return-check in is not allowed 3 hours before departure.If flying economy they do not allow passengers inside,which can be a pain for passengers who have come in from other cities in India.
Jet should provide better in cabin service -as while it charges full fares-it provides budget airline services via Jet Lite and Konnect.Their tele check in system can be improved.
Jet's redeeming feature is its JP management which is of a high standard.

New Terminal at New Delhi
The New terminal at Delhi Airport finally opened,while touted as one the largest and one of the best,it would be interesting to see how it is maintained over a long period of time.Though what is now a fact is that Asian Airports have taken travel to a new dimension leaving western counterparts far behind.
This is quite similar to what Asian airlines have done aka Singapore Air,Cathay,Thai,Jet and others they set the standards.

Hotels in Singapore
Hotels in Singapore are becoming expensive for overseas visitors,maybe due to increase in visitors.Even though there has been an increase in number of rooms,the prices have remained steady.
The same is true for common rooms in apartments for students who come for 4-5 months.Anyone know of good low cost accommodation?
The Holiday Inn at Outram while a good spacious hotel has old furniture and the TVs are also the old types.The executive lounge is good.
