So given all the changes in travel policy mentioned here and elsewhere since Covid, who are these companies that Rob said are paying £12k for fully flex business class tickets to New York?
I presume these are the exotic beasts being targeted by BA now.

Aston, the London based corporates may be stagnant or even shrinking since brexit, but for Americans, £12k is chicken feed.
I was on a BA flight from India and half the business class pax were families connecting to US, mostly working for tech companies. Average salaries in tech are USD 200k+.
We need to get out of the mindset that world revolves around London. Every corporate is trying to woo the Americans.
The question is would these people really be booking directly with BA or crediting to BA?
