Comps for 2 people

Hi,

When a comp is for a holiday, flight or hotel stay for 2 people, can you claim the prize if there's only one of you? Obviously I would ask to see if any friends/relatives etc. would want to come, but if I couldn't find anyone (e.g. they didn't want to, couldn't get the time off work etc.) then could I go alone? I'm not talking about 'family holidays' (e.g. 2 adults, 2 kids) or honeymoons, but comps like New York or Las Vegas.

Purely a hypothetical question at the moment!

Thanks.

    I've just assumed that I would be able to go on my own to be honest. I hadn't thought that I wouldn't be allowed to go.

    I had thought that if I found someone to go with that I/they might just be able to book an extra room.

    Perhaps we should start a group of singlies so that we could choose someone to go with ;)

    I won 6 assorted hols/breaks last year and went solo on all of them with no issues. I had every flight upgraded to business from standard because I only wanted one ticket - although I had to play the "passenger of size" card to tell the agency I wanted both seats for me before one of them would upgrade :) Also on the two where food and drink was included they doubled up the per diem so they were very merry hols :D
