part of the reason for the Concorde's decline was the fairly tight cabin, which was likened by some to be almost bus-like.
With the advent of lie-flat business class seats in the late 90s and early 2000s, Concorde became much less appealing since one could just fly a redeye to London and have a comfortable sleep than be cramped for a shorter period of time.

- doctor_eval 5y agoWe went on the tour maybe 10 years ago so my memory is a bit vague but I think the aisle was actually raised so you would have to step down into the seats. Could that be right?
