I have spent most of my career in investment management firms where no one has looked at cost too closely - mostly large firms but also small. I have also travelled a lot, and managed others who travel a lot, and had peers who travel a lot. I have never ever seen anyone pay £10k for a J return - in fact, we would not have allowed them to travel if it had been that much. The £10k in J return, every month, is just fiction in the real world.
