Concorde

[Mima]

We are off to NY in October. Debating whether to go on normal transatlantic flight on go by Concorde. Has anyone taken children or babies on Concorde or know of anyone that has. What effect to you think it would have on babies ears?

Can't imagine it'll make any difference, have never heard of it b4. Sounds fab. let us know if you do it. R

I've always wondered about the noise thing too, but apparantly when you are in concorde you don't hear it as your travelling so fast, the noise comes after the plane!

Mima - have just asked my husband, who has worked on Concorde - he says it will have absolutely no difference on a childs ears - cabin presssure is the same regardless of aircraft/height (apparently Concorde cruises about 60,000 ft, as opposed to about 35,000 ft).
Just to point out, Concorde is really quite a small aircraft (for obvious aero-dynamic reasons), so cabin space is at a premium. Would you be better flying normal transatlantic flight business or first class? Would cost less, and would be more space if your little one fancied a move around.
