Its a zoo, but one hell of a profitable one, especially for British Airways.

Despite being one of only three US destinations that received regularly scheduled Concorde service (3x a week MIA-IAD-LHR from 1984 to 1991), Miami is being snubbed because a Concorde cannot properly fly LHR-MIA non-stop. That's what hurt MIA's SSC service from the start. A stop in Dulles made the trip 6.5 hours. What was the point? I'm shocked it lasted as long as it.
