Tiger on parade with 30,000 free seats-24 April, 2009

Tiger Airways launched an ANZAC Day sale today with more than 30,000 free seats across selected domestic routes from its Melbourne and Adelaide bases for travel between June and September 30 this year.

The seats are available until Monday, April 27, or until sold out.

Passengers taking up the free seat offer, will pay only airport charges and GST to a total of between A$22.08 and A$35.13, (plus convenience fee), each way.

Tiger Airways Australia managing director, Shelley Roberts said the ANZAC Day special “effectively means, for example, tickets on our new route between Melbourne and Sydney cost just $25 when services commence on July 3.

The Tiger Airways network now includes Sydney (from July 3), Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Rockhampton, Mackay, Launceston, Hobart, Alice Springs and Canberra.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
