18-30 is definitely a niche market, I never went on them (even when I was 18-30). I cannot stand holiday reps, who are full of false peppiness in order to get you to go on beer cruises to supplement their income by selling trips. I do think that OAPs should get some discounts, IMO, if I live long enough to be an OAP I reckon I'll have earned a discount or 2.
Single supplement is the biggest rip off ever, I have taken many holidays on my own in the past, due to being single and having holidays at odd times of the year. I have always insisted that I will not pay single supplement and have got away with it. If a travel company is desperate to sell a last minute holiday they will waive the supplement if you tell them you won't pay it..
Fortunately these days I have Sparks...... and can normally persuade him that a holiday is a good idea, so I haven't had to do my 'I won't pay SS' in the travel agents for ages.
