Sadly when they changed the lowest fares to remove such extras, they did not knock off the £400 odd quid of the lowest fare, they added over 400 quid (what it would cost to pay for seats and pay for lounge access 4 places) onto the lowest fare and that's the one you're talking about. I think it's actually cheaper to just pay for all those items rather than book the class which includes them, even if you have no status.
I decided to stop flying them then, we've got silver/gold (other half) now, and I'd still avoid flying them.
