Yes, that is what I mean. With Tiger pulling out, the only LCC competition is Scoot, and that's not even daily. There is therefore a lot of potential for 3K to zero in on the low-fare market, which I believe should be quite good (especially considering SQ can charge pretty much whatever it likes).
I absolutely think 3K should go to full double-daily on PER-SIN (though their timetable needs some rejigging). The time to go in for the kill is now - the window after Tiger pulls out but before Scoot can up its frequency.

So because we have jobs and we are on the west coast we should pay more? I don't think u meant that.
dont see why we shouldn't have another option. Yes singapore is great but that wasn't my original question

Folks, this is called market correction. Vote with your feet and move on.

I believe Perth to Singapore is the busiest Aus-SIN route (it's proximity clearly helps).
watson374, 3K already operate the route - are you suggesting they up their frequencies? They dropped 3K111 a while back.
SQ has 4 daily flights, room for a 5th? Unlikely. Time for a new full service airline? Probably.

3K is going triple-daily seasonally twice a week, every Tuesday (departing 0040) and Friday (0720), from 16 Dec to 27 Jan

Actually Perth - Singapore isn't the busiest Aust-Sing route.
Perth's the third busiest Aust-Sing route after Sydney and Melbourne.
Surely Virgin's going to step in on this one
