I got to fly that beautiful bird thanks to Flyertalk.

Who else but us crazy folks here would have thought of, much less even heard of buying subscriptions to a magazine to get points in a hotel program to then send them to a far off airline (Qantas is far off for me) to get tickets on a different airline's Concorde?

Cost all in: US$1,320 out in F back on Concorde.

Flying her was spectacular, as everyone says, not for the comfort...for the speed! To arrive in NY "before" I left London was awesome. Taking off like a rocket wasn't too far off the top of the cool meter either.
