Solo flyers on some U.S. flights can pay much more than those traveling as a pair, report finds

A one-way flight with American Airlines from Charlotte, N.C., to Fort Myers, Fla., in October was listed as $422 for one passenger traveling solo, but dropped to around $266 per person when two passengers were traveling together.
Solo travelers often face higher costs compared to those traveling in pairs, as highlighted by a recent study from NetVoucherCodes. The research analyzed the prices of 1,000 hotels across 10 popular destinations and found that single travelers pay an average of 13% more per night than couples. This "singles tax" can add up significantly over the course of a trip, with solo travelers potentially paying an extra $150 for a week-long stay. The study also noted that this price disparity is more pronounced in certain cities, such as New York and Paris, where the difference can be as high as 25%. As a result, solo travelers are encouraged to seek out accommodations that offer no single supplement or to consider alternative lodging options to mitigate these additional costs.
