Not just good news for solo travellers. We’re a family of three and at least once every couple of years I let a Companion Voucher expire as I’ve, at that point in time, no real use of it that you could be defined as worth while or making even decent value if it.
These changes will significantly alter how I look at using them and maximising their value. 2 of us on 1 CV being used in a “traditional” way, the other using one to half the amount of Avios needed.
