Concorde!!!!
 

Any one reserve an award on the AF concorde since nov. 8, is it easy? I'm looking to travel dec. 10 to 17, 1st time! I hope some places will be available!

Gonna be tough. I was in England when flights resumed on Concorde last week. British Airways and AF were putting out half price specials on Concorde to get people to fly. According to the news reports it is really oversold until March or April. So I don't think they will be offering many reward trips.
Good LUCK! I hope you get it though! I flew Concorde on BA about 6 years ago and it was totally awesome. You have to do it if feasible it was the experience of a lifetime.

Pardon my ignorance, but since when could you use CO One Pass miles to book an AF Concorde trip?? And given the fact that as of March 31, 2002 CO's alliance with AF will be gone---I imagine any remote possibility would be eliminated.

ou can use OP miles for AF concorde-- I did it once, but I agree it might be tough to do this before the "deadline."

Code Reward Type Class Miles:
(OP miles on AF)
P3AF Roundtrip Coach Class 50,000
P4AF Roundtrip Business Class 100,000
P5AF Roundtrip First Class 150,000
PCAF Roundtrip (Concorde Reward) ---- 200,000

I called DL, they don't know if it's available and if it will be, but for CO, I saw that last year, just after the Concorde crash, so I was waiting, I called co last friday, and it's available since nov. 8, but you have to tell the date of travel and they need 2 bizz day to make a request to AF, and you call back to fix the award, so I will call monday, I cross my finger! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

I never was much of a Concorde fan (eg excess pollution and very cramped aircraft), but 200,000 mi is about 10 USA or 6 USA-Europe RT in many ff programs for a time savings of about 4-5 hours RT TOTAL of flying over the Atlantic Ocean. Different strokes......

The novelty and experience factor is probably more important to most than the convenience.

Was just wondering if smorin got the Concorde award. I think it would be very cool to do once.

Folks over at Delta are getting it. For only 160,000 SkyMiles too!

I got it, dec 10 to 17, the exact dates I wanted!!! it has been easy! I know that DL is offering for 160k, but at the time i was looking for, they knew nothing about the Concorde reward. So, more points, but to have a 1st time on Concorde it's not a problem! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Enjoy your Concorde flight.
I'm sooooo jealous http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Got points ? Got smiles !

Does award PCAF include:

a) connecting domestic US legs (to EWR I assume)

and/or

b) ongoing AF flight to another European city, or is it just to CDG?

Thanks for your help!

YOU HAVE TO POST A TRIP REPORT..PLEASE http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.

I hoard my FF miles, but may be willing to pry some out of my account for a once-in-a-lifetime Concorde trip if it is worth the miles.

Hell hath no fury like that of an elite frequent flyer in coach.

Stupid People Shouldn't Breed

According to the agent I spoke to, this award will not be available after CO & AF terminate their codeshare agreement (3/31/2002?). So if you want to experience Concorde using OP miles, book soon!

The award does include domestic connections in FC, but you cannot do FC/BC/Coach one way and Concorde the other.

Does award PCAF include:

a) connecting domestic US legs (to EWR I assume) Yes
and
b) ongoing AF flight to another European city, or is it just to CDG?
To another European city

My Award:
YUL/EWR
JFK/CDG
CDG/LYS

I will post a report after the flight! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Bye!
