    The most annoying thing is that some of the rooms will only fit one person in and they still surcharge you.

    I have a simialr problem being a single parent, even though holiday companies charge me adult price for my 9yr old daughter they then add the single adult surcharge on top :mad:

    When we have gone with travelsphere on holiday a high proportion are lone travellers - it might be worth checking them out for charges etc.

    Book a FLIGHT with Thomson and THEN add accommodation. You pay for 1 x flight price and the accomodation is priced PER ROOM. No surcharges, no extras!

    Just go to the website and start with the FLIGHT tab.
