Well, yes, but the ex-shareholder discount is 10% off the base fare which is typically in single or low double digits for s/h flights, so £1 off a £10 each way base fare.
HBO flights are typically £10/12 lower each way than lowest economy all-in fares. I have booked HBO fares for the greater discount and cheerily written off the £1.
