Is there a market for that much flying at that increase in price?
I certainly hope so! Restaurant chains at European airports (past security) sell beer pints - immediately consumable vanity items - at USD 10. No shortage of customers. Commuter train from the terminal to downtown around USD 15/person. Taxi 70 USD.
Although my UK-EU market experience from secondary airports suggest median price is USD 90, the new tier then $ 225. That IS significantly different. Given the elaborate yield management techniques in force, some passengers were already paying that pre-COVID, but only around 7% of load or less.
