Well guys i just got ripped off by tiger airways

I turn up at the check in and was told my luggage was going to cost $300 for the extra 15 kg, I payed $15 online for the first 15kg and was told it would have only cost me an extra $40 if I had payed on line when i booked the flight but i didn't see anyway of changing it when I booked.

If I wanted to change the flight then and there to next weekend it would cost me $160 plus the $300 for the extra luggage.

I couldn't leave anything behind because other than a few items of clothing it was all tools parts and circuit boards.
the whole return flight only cost $265

I was then told to ring the phone bookings and I would be able to sort it out and pay the extra $40 for the extra luggage.
Yeah right, when I rang I was told on the phone that the money I paid for the flight I missed was forfeited, I explained circumstances and what I was told at the airport but all i got back was "but you have forfeited that ticket because you didn't catch the flight"And to change the remaining flight would cost $80.
 
One of my customers had put $200 towards the flight so I will be refunding his money. the other $65 was paid by myself so I am out of pocket $265

What a kick in the teeth
