I wouldn't be surprised if the bulk of people flying Concorde at the moment are people who would happily re-mortgage their houses, extend their credit card debts, etc. etc. just for the chance to fly the great white bird. Current Concorde pax are not likely to miss their flights through oversleeping or getting stuck in traffic. Most of the pax on my LHR-JFK flight in July would have got to JFK about as fast if they'd turned up at a normal time before a subsonic departure, instead of coming into the Concorde Room many hours early to get the full experience.
