Keep in mind, that the more you pay for the fare, the more fuel the plane burns somehow and the YQ also jumps.

Over the last two years I've had zero op-ups on this route, but I was traveling incognito (*G) and usually the load was pretty low in eco, a couple times I even had a whole row for myself to stretch out.
Not counting the stupid A346 seat block and apron position for widebodiese, those 7h hops are perfectly survivable in Y, especially for 500 USD RT and 200% miles credit elsewhere.
