And we were so very lucky. I called after they had announced the termination of Concorde, and after I had read on FlyerTalk that there were no more award tickets left.

I hust happened to get an agent on the phone who took pity on me and checked every single day for me, from the date I called until the last day that Concorde flew. The tickets we got were the last two award tickets she could find, and she said she had been looking for several days, prior to my call, with no luck. I don't know who was more excited me, or the agent, when she finally found our seats.

This was truly a memorable experience and one that we are thrilled to be privileged to enjoy. The Concorde we flew is now parked here in Seattle at the Museum of Flight so we went to visit it with our kids during a big bash held out at the Museum. The plane is all sterile now so it was hard to convey to the kids how exciting it was with the flight attendants scurrying back and forth to serve a very nice seven course meal on a very short flight.

Great memory.
