Passengers will be lucky to have a pre-arrival breakfast/light meal service. Honestly I will not even consider redeeming a 737 "first" class flight for anything more than 75K.
I saw them dropping the SEA-LHR J award price a bit from 400K to 180K, but honestly that's still too high.

In the era of dynamic award pricing, airlines have to put an award price on any flight. If that price is 250k or more, they're basically telling you that they really, really don't want you to redeem your points/miles for it, unless, of course, you have too many of them that you don't mind throwing away some of them...
