I would say "good value" rather than "dirt cheap". Poland is one of the fastest growing economies in Europe so living standards and prices are going up but it is still pleasingly easy on the wallet. Better get there before they adopt the Euro.

The threshold for SH+ routes isn't precise, and isn't typically 1000 miles. Basically they start to appear in the 1000-1200 mile range, but there are routes longer than LHR-RIX which are not SH+, the TLL was one example.
Some previous discussions here
80 TP routes
Short haul+ routes

Yes, it’s disappointing but not entirely surprising that Cluj and Riga are 40.
The Club Europe prices are a little ambitious; might be routes on which to book in economy and hope for proactive upgrade offer, perhaps.

A quick fact check for the benefit of our readers. BA Airbus A320s scheduled to fly the new routes have a 30 in seat pitch. While still not exactly palatial, the additional inch makes a huge difference.

In fact Warsaw is the fastest growing developed city in the world
