Your holiday flight options

A solo holiday means flexibility . That’s why, when you travel solo with Friendship Travel , you’ll have a selection of airports and flights to choose from, even on trips that include the cost of the flight in the package.

Once you’re in the country, we pay for the cost of transfers between the airport and the hotel, and we try to be as flexible with these as possible. However, if your flight is too far outside the designated time slot for arrival, we may have to charge extra for the additional journey we’ll need to make.

Your first solo holiday

It can be difficult to know what to expect when you set off on any holiday, and if you’re a first-timer on one of our solo holidays, that’s especially true.

So, below you will find just a few of the many reasons why solo traveller holidays with the award-winning travel service Friendship Travel can offer you an amazing, stress-free experience:

You will be travelling with plenty of like-minded people to share your experience and memories with, whether you are hoping to enjoy one of our cruises , walking holidays , city breaks, ski holidays , or any other kind of getaway.
Your Friendship Travel host/tour manager will make you feel completely at ease on your first singles holiday, introducing you to your fellow solo travellers and being your point of contact if you need any travel advice or have any concerns.
We have tried and tested all of our hotels and resorts for your peace of mind.
The people you share your time with on our group holidays for solo travellers are just as keen as you are to meet others and experience new places.
Be your own tour guide! Choose what you do and who with, ensuring your holiday is entirely hassle-free. If you would prefer to spend some free time alone relaxing, that’s not a problem. Or if you want to enjoy a small group tour or shore excursions with others, that’s fine too.
As a solos holidays specialist, we only offer package holidays which do not include the single supplement that single people are often charged when booking places on family or couple-oriented breaks. With no supplement or extra cost to pay, this means you will have more to spend on the things that really matter – like great food and drink and fascinating escorted tours.
Even though you will be travelling solo, your accommodation will not be limited to small single rooms. On the majority of our single traveller holidays, guests are given the exclusive use of a spacious double or twin room, so you can be assured of having a comfortable and relaxing base from which to explore your destination of choice.

Your fellow single traveller holidays guests

Just because you are travelling solo doesn’t mean you have to travel alone. Of course, it’s always comforting to have an idea of what to expect before you head off on solo holidays for the first time, so you should know that we have guests from all walks of life, between 25 and 65, from the UK and Ireland, women and men. Whether you are shopping for singles holidays for over 60s or looking for a solo trip to enjoy in your 20s, we think you’ll love the mixture of travellers on our solos holidays.

You can also meet your fellow travellers in our Chat Room – a great place to get started once you’ve booked your solo holiday.
