Spotlight: Airlines' 'Singles Tax' on Solo Travelers

Heads up, solo adventurers! Airlines like Delta are quietly introducing fare rules that effectively penalize individuals by making certain low fares only available to those traveling in pairs. Solo travelers might pay up to 70% more. Always check prices for both single and dual passengers, and consider booking through travel agencies that may bypass these rules.

  • The annual fee is $99, but benefits outweigh this cost with the ongoing offer.
