How much?</font>
I just got an e-mail that offered $750 off a Concorde vacation package (one way Concorde, one way Club World):

Experience the world's only supersonic passenger aircraft with a $750 per person savings on any Concorde Vacations package from British Airways Holidays. Packages start at just $6,379 and include round-trip transatlantic airfare (one way in Concorde, one way in Club WorldSM), three nights' deluxe hotel accommodation and private chauffeur-driven car transfers between the airport and your hotel.

Not a bad deal. I'm assuming you get full tier points.

Just to clarify the BA lifetime question. There used to be lifetime Gold and Lifetime Premier status available, although the qualification for Gold was never published (25,000 lifetime points would be nowhere near enough - many of us do more than that a year!).

For three years I commuted each week from London to Houston (in First), without any side-trips or US domestic on AA, that brings you pretty close to 20,000 points.

Just for comparison: If you did AMS-IAH r/t once per week in F on KLM you would earn enough service points (at least as a Europe 1 resident) for 39 years of RoyalWing membership, which for most people is at least close to lifetime status.

I may have to change my maths a little with BA currently offering the Concorde 2 for 1 deal!
