In practice I bet is nobody sitting on an ex-BHD departure that has a £5000 ticket to PVG. I wonder if they've ever sold one? I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they've not - i'd imagine travelling via Dublin is sufficiently trivial for all passengers that nobody avails themselves of the £5000 ticket, after all a 2 hour drive before a longhaul itinerary isn't outrageous and raises far less eyebrows than flying from LHR to AMS to then fly back to LHR.
