Joe blow was not wasting a year's worth of mortgage payments on a one way flight. I can promise you that. For those that could afford $15-20k per round trip, there was no better option.
Rich people only.

Even then it wasn't a money maker and had to be heavily subsidized by UK / France.

Hence it went the way of the dodo-bird.
