Whilst trying to book next year's skiing holiday,

What, 2013-14? Blimey. I only book, at most, a couple of months in advance. I
gues that you get a wide choice and the the cheaper places aren't booked up,
though.

I have to say that I haven't booked a full package holiday in four or five
years. Part of the reason is that things have changed for me, a solo traveller
as well.

It used to be the case that a single traveller paid the 'per-peson' rate plus
a supplement. Nowadays, it seems that one is sometimes expected to pay a full
two-person rate minus a discount.

Partly also my habits have changed: I like to take a lot of kit, so driving
makes that possible.
