I wouldn’t want to sit next to these people even if the flight is only 1 hour. Also have you ever thought that the cost of these tickets may allow the airlines to offer cheaper economy tickets, or even keep the route going.
If I was the richest person in the world I wouldn't pay £829 for a 1 hour flight. Jealousy doesn't come into it.
If it was a business traveller on company business then if it was a PLC the shareholders would be up in arms at such a gross waste of company funds.

I'm not sure the is much more space, if any.

I have travelled business class on this flight many times but only because I get it as a free (or less!!) add-on to the long haul where it really is worth paying the business class fare. The long haul fare is only 2X the NCL-AMS fare.
