Tigerair Singapore waves farewell to the skies as it merges with its big sister, Scoot, both owned by Singapore Airlines.

As a result, Tigerair will cease to exist as a brand outside Australia.

The new, bigger Scoot has announced five new services including a Singapore-Osaka-Honolulu route for the time-rich, cash-poor traveller and another to the ice festival city of Harbin in north-east China, bringing their flights to 65 cities in 18 countries.

Tigerair's flight designator codes will change from TZ to Scoot's TR, and booking for both airlines is now done on the one website. Tigerair's check-in desks will also disappear, while Scoot has launched new uniforms and will repaint all Tiger aircraft Scoot's distinctive yellow-and-black colour combo by mid-2018.

Meanwhile, it's business as usual for Tigerair Australia, whose new Fare Freeze lets you hold an airfare for 48 hours until you have to pay, perfect for those sweating on payday. The freeze costs $3 for each sector and is available for flights 27 days from departure.

In line with the offerings from its parent Virgin Australia as well as Qantas, you can't hold sale fares.
