mt wife and i and the children flew Concorde from London Heathrow to Dulles many years ago [c.1990] and the tickets cost us around an additional one thousand dollars each. of course, the price reflected an arrangement that Cunard had with British Airways Concorde, as we had also paid for our voyage from New York to Southampton on the Queen Elizabeth 2.

Cunard did have a special once that the return flight on Concorde was only an incredible $350 each, if you had booked the QE2 the other way. fantastic deal that i wish i had pursued.

my wife’s cousin worked in the states for British Airways and when his tour was over here, he got to fly back home to London on Concorde for free.

You were really in a good position you probably consider it one of life’s wins. Anyone who has flown to Europe knows it is a miserably long flight. I have thought it is crazy that at this point there are no super sonic passenger aircraft for overseas flights.
