It’s now 7.20am, Adelaide Airport, and I’ve just finished my cibo breakfast. I arrived about 7 mins outside the 45min checkin window Tiger stipulate. Ok .. I’m cabin baggage only .. with kiosk check in I’ll be able to head straight to the gate for a full 30 mins before take off. Hmmm .. No kiosks. Manual checkin overflows with people backed up prob 40 deep. 2 staff wipe sweat off their brow trying to get everyone through. No staff working the queue, streamlining the process. Ok, think i’ll head straight to boarding and checkin there. Wrong move, turned around, back to queue, time dissapears and missed flight!

Dang. Tiger lesson learned. Be on time or else! Jump on adioso.com (via iPhone) next avail flight out is virgin, booked online, confirmation sent, checked in via kiosk, boarding pass issued in seconds, no queues and voilà… Here I am drinking coffee waiting for my flight.
