The Diners promotion for 3,500 points does run through August 31st.
I have also discovered that the Starwood promotion is still available from their Web site at http://www.starwood.com/preferredgue...h_america.html
last offer listed....Not sure how long this will be available so if you are still interested I would not wait!

If you can wait 5-10 years, you might be flying supersonic once again. There is a Japanese company working on the next generation.

Also got an invite to BA's "farewell" party at YYZ where we got to say good bye to BAOG, which happened to be the same Concorde I flew on my trip [and which now resides next to the prototype Boeing 707 in Seattle].

Actually - I flew into CDG on Tuesday (9/13/05), and as we were taxiing down the runway, I saw a Concorde outside of a flight hangar. I was quite surprised, but there was no mistaking this plane. I wonder what it was doing there???

The guy can't even keep service between Toronto and London going more than six months, how could he keep Concorde flying?

Alas, at that point my only flying experience was limited to WN
