Tiger to Brisbane? Like to see that... from what I've heard they are far too demanding and won't start services until they get their own way (i.e. a tin shed setup in Brisbane like in MEL).

David,
Virgin or any other competitor do offer very competitive Happy Hours and so on, but these only last for what, a hour or as per "JetMail only sale..between 8pm to midnight!" . A search of the "Go Fare" reveals fares on quite a restricted basis but still are competitive. Plus dont we all know about Jetstar and their low-fare gimick sales(ie- only Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays before 8am and after 6pm!! Complete Rubbish)
Where as TT has a sale 24hours each day, 365 days a year, and choices are alot greater in terms of flight choices, basically on a "every flight, every day" basis. Without doubt they are a price leader (Remember $9.95 fares' availability and travel periods)
Chances of this airline entering markets like Sydney or Brisbane might be low now, but there is
always possiblilty in the future.
