Sadly because of my age (at the time 18 was the minimum age for BAEC) I was too late to the game to burn miles on the fast plane but I can't think of a better way to burn an Amex 2for1!...in fact my Concorde flight was the first flight to credit to my BAEC account. 250 tier points and about 14,000 BA miles.
