I think Ben Iannotta (“Son of Concorde”, 7 June, p 40)
should tell us which
airline he uses to travel over the Atlantic at 700 kilometres per hour, so the
rest of us can avoid it. For the last 35 years, aeroplanes used on transatlantic
flights have travelled at speeds of 900 to 950 km/h, offering a considerable
saving of time. I just hope he gets a discount rate.
