To clarify this bit:

British Airways offered a promo after the retirement was annonced that you could fly one way Concorde and one way in Economy for about $3000 or something. Loads of first timers booked up and the Concorde lounge has been flooded with camera wielding one timers and people who seem to steal everything that isnt shackled to the ground. People on the BA board here have commented on this and said that it detracts from the usual experience you used to get when there were perhaps a handful of one timers and others aboard were the usual Concorde crowd.

Sorry for any confusion, Canarsie and others
