The end of an era. Still beautiful after all these years :-

for anyone interested, BA is running a special discount promotion on concorde tickets (see ba.co.uk) which offers them at a much lower price. I've got bragging rights of being on one a few years ago (no, i can't afford the tickets, BA had to upgrade us after a huge mistake by them), go on Mr Spie, a once in a lifetime opportunity
Already booked Mr Kanes. I'm not missing my once in a lifetime chance :cool:

Special Concorde fairs are here, but there are only 1000 tickets and demand, ironically, is high.

yep, they might be extending that offer now as most of the ny>london tickets have already gone, so there is a demand at the right price.

I hope you're doing things the right way and staying in a top hotel too? personal recommendations of the Plaza and Astoria, who also have special offers running during that time.

Enjoy it, take off is certainly an experience, also see if you can be allowed your camera on board, one thing i regret was not taking a picture when you're high enough to see the curvature of the earth from the window
Good hotel suggestions, but not decided yet.

Camera will be on hand I assure you :)

Gotta love the flight number - BA1 :cool:
 
Thank you for the info Mr Kanes. This will be my 3rd visit to Manhattan, and I hope my best. I really love the diversity of the place. My wife and I will be there for 6 nights including the 4th July celebrations.

I promise you this - if I can connect my laptop whilst at 60,000 feet, I'll do a webcam shot and post it on the forums. Just need to find out what their technical requirements are for connection.

Spie s'ah, are you doing Concorde return?

I may be a cheapo and fly first class commercial on the way back :p

May take away from the whole experience though :/
I took the "cheaper" option of Concorde there, Club-World back. I'm happy with that :cool:
