I watched a documentary last night about the Concorde again and wanted to ask every-user a question, would you fly Concorde today?

My answer would be yes, I would love to still have the possibility of flying supersonic, if I was BA I would try bringing back the Concorde because I feel like it would be a success especially now a days, where you could go from London to NY City in less than half the time of a normal flight.

Post your opinions.

Yes and no.

 

Yes because it's supersonic.

 

No because I had to first fly to London or Paris while I also could go to Amsterdam and take a KLM flight direct instead of first flying to London or Paris.

Well if more airlines take it up then it will have more direct routes.
Only BA and Air France used it.

And Singapore Airlines + Braniff (Short term lease)

 

For example LHR-JFK on a Concorde is 3 Hr. If I first have to go to LHR via AMS, I could better take a KLM 747 or 777 and fly direct to JFK. I don't think that KLM has any intrest in the Concorde if it would return.

Unless someone makes one that wont spend so much in fuel.

Yeah I was just seeing that how now a days almost everyone os for fast, quicker flight times etc.

If someone can make the Concorde v2.0 that will use less fuel, gain more money and hold more seats then it might be worth more than a 747, the aircraft I like the most even tough it took over Concordes position.

I would fly it, but the problem is the cost. I don't know if I've said this before, but my family can't really afford flying. I hope one day it will be my job and I will be able to take my family on trips all the time.
