Seven surprisingly good airlines

Another little gem from Ben Groundwater on the surprises out there in International Airline world.

Unfortunately, Tight Arse Travel cannot comment on the other airlines, but we have flown AirAsia X between Australia, Malaysia, India, Thailand, and Indonesia in 2011, 2012 & 2013, and we can’t fault them.

They are cheap, leave and arrive on time, the meals are good, and the staff are friendly and attentive. You might have a short walk from your plane to the terminal, but we appreciate a good leg stretch at the end of a flight.

Unlike full-cost, full-price carriers, where you pay for all of the services available, whether you need or want them, Tight Arse Travel like the no-frills, low-cost flights, with the ability to add or customise services for a low additional fee.
