BA Holiday booking for two - Companion cannot travel
Hi everyone,
I have booked a BA Holiday for mid February a while ago (has already been paid in full), and have just found out that unfortunately my companion will not be able to join due to family reasons (i.e. presumably not covered by travel insurance).
Given that the holiday has already been paid in full, am I ok to just travel on my own while letting their ticket lapse, or will this cause the hotel booking and/or my return ticket to be cancelled?
I can imagine all sorts of fees being applied in case I do inform BA, which I find rather unprincipled given that surely a booking for two tickets and a double hotel room would cost more than a booking for a single ticket and room?
Many thanks for your input!

If you want to be adventurous find someone on Facebook with the same name and offer them a free trip. This is what happened to a comedian in the name of Ross Smith and he live tweeted the experience and turned it into a show at the Edinburgh Festival.
