Tiger Airways unveils mobile ticketing, seat selection app

The app has been downloaded over 100,000 times prior to its official launch.

In a release, Tiger Airways launches Tiger app for Android, iPhone and iPad platforms. The native app allows customers to search for the best flight deals, book tickets, select seats, and store their personal information for future use, all through their mobile device.

To mark the launch, Tiger Airways is offering airfare deals, exclusively through the app. The deals are available for booking from 10 Oct to 24 Oct 2012, inclusive. Singapore-Bangkok one-way fare is at $48 with travel period between 10 October to 30 November. Singapore-Meda is at $38 with travel period between 1 March to 31 May 2013.

The Tiger app was first put on the various mobile platforms in July, and has been downloaded more than 100,000 times prior to this official launch.

It was developed over a period of six months, following consumer research on customers’ needs and preferences when using a travel app.

The app's key features include flight bookings, flight deals, personal flight information, and personal profile. Tiger Airways will be introducing more features to the app, including multi-language options, offline payment modes, flight status updates and mobile check-in, in the coming months.

The Tiger app for Blackberry will be released later this year.
