As for the fares, I'm sure you are aware that single fares to the USA are more expensive than returns. So the cheapest return flight to LAX in January is £415, which I think is amazing, and there are plenty of return fares below £600. I'm not quite sure why anyone would buy a single fare to LAX.

Obviously (I hope) you don't have to use the return leg..... It's a means to an end.

I am surprised because on many aircraft logistically WT and WTP are worked together (crew, storage, service times etc), it would take extra effort to snatch the Magnums out of the clutches of those in WTP. Moreover the NPS contributors are more likely to be BAEC and therefore in WTP.

There are upgrades planned for plus and First later this year.

Whaaat? But, but, I have needs. I need icecream, even if I sit in WT+. snif
Only very unfortunately deprived countries do not have a full supply of icecream all year round. Well-supplied nations and regions such as Finland, Denmark, and the North-Eastern USA have ice cream widely available in all flavours all year.
No longer living in such a country as we do, my partner and I have a second freezer for a strategic reserve, to ensure a full variety of ice cream all year round.
I used to think that ice cream was seasonal until I spent some time in Finland, they are ice cream mad, year round. The reality is that if a cabin crew comes around with a tray of ice creams mid flight, I imagine almost everyone awake will take one while watching the IFE or own media. Year round.
