I guess the business revenues at those price points are a gold mine for the airlines and therefore worth protecting in terms of service levels (including toilet access!).
Recently flew to HBA from AKL. I was comfy in row 3. There was one Business passenger trans-Tasman, zero from MLB to HBA and two from HBA-MLB. OK, n=3 flights but 19% occupancy might explain high fares.
