To be fair, that's kind of a travel industry-wide thing tho.  I think

you'll find if you go in any high-street travel agent and buy a package

holiday, then you'll pay a single-person room supplement.  The only way

around this is to buy the flight and accomodation seperately.  


Good travel sites should flag this up and, perhaps, offer two prices, one

based on single occupancy which includes the supplement, but then we'd be

living in an ideal world where rivers run with chocolates and databases and

query results are re-designed to accomodate the fact that the person now

interrogating them is a 'dumb' user rather than a trained travel agent.
