One plan for Concorde was from London to Tokyo with stops at Moscow and somewhere in Siberia. This was a potentially lucrative business route.

However the failure of the TU 144 knocked this on the head as the Ruskies didn't want their people to see we had a successful SST when they did not. Also because of this they would not allow supersonic ops over Siberia which they'd previously indicated they would be amenable to.
