Holidaying alone can be a traumatic experience and, if being a single traveller isn't enough of a challenge, it can include an added premium to pay for the privilege. For years, solo travellers have complained about being hit with extra fees when booking trips.
Holidaymakers travelling alone are also hit by higher costs for a host of activities, from getting to and from the airport to in-resort taxi fares. Most of the time, this can be attributed to not having a companion to divide the bill.
But the travel industry responds by claiming extra charges are necessary and not a rip-off.
