For Tiger Airways, the timing is not suitable. Just found out today that my SQ flight is going to cost close to $900, 3 times more than Jetstar.

The good thing about budget compared to legacy airlines is that the price of a 1 way ticket is most of the time about 50-60% that of a return ticket. Compared to 80% or sometimes even 100% of a return ticket for standard carriers.
Meaning you can mix and match, which gives you far greater flexibility with your flight, or planning schedules.
That said, if the company is sponsoring, then of course by all means fly in full comfort, enjoy the "great" dining that SQ / full board airlines provides, watch movies that you won't complete if they're more than 2 hours (or sometimes cannot forward / rewind), drink wines that you won't normally pay to purchase... Lol
If it's out of your own pocket then it's a totally different story, you will want to mix / match and save the extra $ even if it's 20 bucks. Plus as an added bonus, cebu pacific lands at T3, which IMO is da best terminal in manila right now. Nice, spacious and bright lights. Plus immigration queues are usually shorter since there's less people. Only problem is to get a white taxi you have to walk quite a bit to the end of departure hall to exit the building.

yea the "so-called, unofficial, anyhow anyhow" mamasans. They usually cater to koreans / japs. Hence if you look like one, they will usher you to join them in their specially cloistered area on the 2nd floor. don't have to do anything, they will push and intro girls to you. and even order food and drinks for you if you wish. think koreans usually like to be waited upon, it's part of their culture, I hear that the rich ones usually have a "slave" or servant who follows them around to help manage the nitty gritty details. Quite interesting since personally I would find it bothersome to try and fit someone else into my schedule and would much prefer to handle stuff myself, since that's the only way I know there won't be any f*** ups, but maybe that's cause i'm not loaded and hence have more free time on my hands..
On a separate note .. where's infinity?
