I meant to say whatever is normally available for paxs to take (Concorde in flight magazines, etc). That is what I took when I flew The Bird last year...anything that the Concorde Lounge staff and Concorde Crew allowed me to take (because I checked with them first).</font>
IIRC, souvenir items for purchase on board (eg the paperweight at GBP 49) are cheaper than going to the BA on-line shopping site after the flight (GBP 65). Shame I didn't buy the thing on board. At least I now have it - even if BA did double charge me. I hope AMEX can sort that one out.

jspear - please enlighten me - I have QF miles - and checked for BA inventory - but when I called QF asking for the appopriate flight was told that the Concord fights no longer even show up to Qantas agents in first inventory - if this is true how did you book the Concord with QF miles?
Thanks!

- I called QF saturday afternoon, which was when I was told that BA002 on 10/10 was showing Z7.

- I called an hour later, and was told that it wasn't even showing the flight operating on that day.

- I called again an hour or two later, and it was showing again. Unfortunately, I went through the whole booking process before I ran into that "relatives-only" thing and scrapped the whole thing.

(hence, my search for BA miles for my friend)

Yeah, there's one seat on Oct. 3. Unforunately (or luckily, really) I am in Hawaii then and can't work it then ...)

I am really really sorry I just posted this. The qantas agent screwed up and booked the wrong day. Just got the e-mail. Everything is gone now, probably because I posted this here. I am so frustrated. I am screaming. I can't believe this.

Have an exam tomorrow. Have to go offline now. If anybody can help, thank you.

Edited to add the angel in ZRH got it confirmed. I'm happy again. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

i am looking now on both BA and QF and can't find anything ... I have dreamt since I was young of flying concorde.. can anyone who might have any information on what I can do to fly - (other than pay 4000 pounds which I don't have!).. I have the points easily with QF and can probably convince a mate to part with his BA points ..
am flexible about travel.. any day works for me...
maybe I have missed the boat / bird..... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

andybrownaus,

currently only the following show availability for JFK-LHR:

Sep 27 (R9)
Sep 29 (A only - a little weird)

Ofcourse if you're in Aus you still need to get to JFK by morning of Sep 27/9 - and still need to buy an airfare to JFK on short notice....

Anyway if interested - I can only recommend the process I followed ( http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum39/HTML/002179.html ). Others have had mixed results with this. You can only try.

I understand you completely - hence my excitement at having secured a 125k seat on BA002 a few days ago.
