Well, I finally got past my procrastination and put in a request for two tickets on the Concorde for my wife Feebster and myself. I requested any date from the middle of August to the middle of December, 3-4 days in Paris, and then a week in Moscow. So, hopefully I’ll know something in 10 days or less. As soon as I know something, I’ll post it here. This is where I get to burn all those miles from last year’s Great Mileage Bonanza, especially since I can no longer use them for BF upgrades!

BWT, the deadline to REQUEST an award with AF is March 15. The deadline to BOOK is March 31.

I agree with dbaker. I’m not taking the Concorde for the time savings, but for the experience...Mach meter in the front, watching it move past 1.0, and flying at 60K feet, where I understand you can actually see the curvature of the Earth...the closest thing to flying into space, short of Dennis Titov’s flight, or one of Space Adventures’ flights in a MiG-25 Foxbat for 13 grand! And the food, booze, and service is truly international first class plus, even though the seat pitch is a lousy 34", similar to E+ on UA! Truly, the flight of a lifetime!!!

PCAF definitely includes domestic connections on CO to the AF gateway. And they will make best efforts to put you on domestic FC. Be aware however that they will put you on CO flights that usually go into EWR. And AF Concorde flights go out of JFK, so a cab trip is involved.

Now, can you go beyond Paris? I’ve gotten conflicting info on that. A CO rep told me previously that I couldn’t...to Paris only! Today, I was told otherwise. But then, none of you have gotten conflicting info from CO, right??? I was told today that I could, so I have now requested SNA-EWR/JFK-CDG-SVO.

And ClassicalGal is absolutely correct! You cannot book one way. You can book CO upgrades O/W, but not reward tix.

Will I get my request? Stay tuned...same time, same channel!!!
