I just visited the Museum of Flight in Seattle, where they have one of the old Concordes. I was struck by how tight and un-luxurious the cabin felt. I have only flown business/first class once, but it was definitely a lot nicer than the seats on the model I walked through.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoIt was more cramped because the flight only lasted 3.5 hours (NYC to Paris), you didn't need lie flat seats on a trans Atlantic flight that could go so quickly, in theory at least. Also, when did Seattle flight museum get a Concorde? Its been a couple of years for me, but I'm surprised they have one. Looking on the website, it is outside...maybe we just missed it somehow?
- el_benhameen 5y agoYeah, it’s out in the yard with the 747, dreamliner, etc. not sure when they picked it up, but it’s very cool! I suppose it could be a replica, but I’d be surprised if it was. It’s the full deal with cockpit and instruments, engines, gear, etc.
