411, I have bought a full fare ticket, on more than one occasion.

Concorde was purely a business tool which allowed me to get home at 2225 rather than face the dull 747 ride from JFK.

Those who say they prefer First class must be joking on the JFK-LHR run. Normal flying time is about 6.30, so even allowing for time to get to sleep and wake up/land you don't get a good sleep.

Its a crying shame she cannot be kept flying and if only she did not have the very British disease of being too small with not enough range, I'm sure she would have kept flying.

Maybe we'll get lucky and BA will change their minds, otherwise my Son and Daughter have at least the next 20 years looking forward to flying subby all the time.

I will be on her before she retires, and if NW1 will talk with me, I still have not been on BOAF, is there anyway I can get a schedule of which aircraft is rostered when ???
