Flew it once in the mid-80s, and while I 'participated' in the SPG-QF-BA miles transfer to which Mauld refers above, I never used that for a Speedbird flight.

In any event, it's possible that I am the only one of you who've literally flown it for FREE. Was in London on a 'courier' flight with DHL or TNT (can't recall which) and got a phone call asking if I wanted to leave one day earlier, and take Concorde. Thought about it for a few minutes, and my friends said I'd be nuts to give up the opportunity.

Flight was fun enough, but not luxurious at all. Tix went for about 7,000 GBP IIRC.

Best, Dave
