A £60 upgrade is probably because Economy is too full and someone must be upgraded anyway, possibly for free.

club return lhr-ncl out 6 aug 25, back 13 aug. Total cost £166.43. Air Passenger Duty – United Kingdom £28, passenger service charge £36.43, carrier charge £14, fare £88. Average each way cost of £83.215. Less APD that’s ~£69 each way. Less the passenger service charge that’s £51 each way. That needs to cover lounge, 1/2 blocked middle seat etc, etc. given the moving curtain in short haul club, surely they’re not selling seats this far in advance at a loss?

We seem to have plenty of experts here these days.
