£75 + tax - which doesn't make it massively cheaper than the rest. And only 10% of the seats are for sale at that price, remember.

The sheer economics of long-haul flying (legal requirements for cabin crew numbers, fixed fuel costs, minimal benefit from quicker turnaround times) mean that this one is not going to get far without a bunch of people at the front of the plane paying £3,000 each.
