[Mulindwa Edward]

Tickets on sale for Concorde farewell TICKETS for Concorde's farewell week in the skies have gone on sale. Bosses hope to break Concorde's seven-day passenger record before finally taking it out of service. British Airways plans to carry up to 2,000 travelers between October 18 and 24. Twenty flights will cross the Atlantic during its last week before the final commercial flight, BA001 to New York's JFK airport, takes off from Heathrow on Thursday, October 23. Martin George, British Airways' director of marketing, said more than 1,000 competition winners and special guests would also be enjoying Concorde's farewell tour of the UK, bringing 27 years of service to an end. He said: "People have been calling us all summer about buying a seat for the final week and we are delighted that we can now begin offering them to those people on our waiting lists and several hundred other customers. "Given other Concorde seat sales have sold in a matter of hours we hope this will prove just as popular." The UK tour will see Concorde visit Birmingham, Belfast, Manchester, Cardiff and Edinburgh before culminating in a series of three supersonic flights from New York, Edinburgh and round the Bay of Biscay on her final day. The fares, for travel between London and New York, cost the standard �4,350 (US$7,191.54 ) one-way Concorde ticket returning on World Traveler, and up to �8,292 (US$1370.01) for a return trip, both ways on Concorde.             The Mulindwas Communication Group "With Yoweri Museveni, Uganda is in anarchy"             Groupe de communication Mulindwas "avec Yoweri Museveni, l'Ouganda est dans l'anarchie"
