Double Millenniums for the Jet Set
- Share via
Want to experience the turn of the millennium twice? For $39,800, Concorde Spirit Tours will send you to Paris, where you can ring in the New Year at midnight, then board Air France’s supersonic Concorde at 12:30 a.m. and jet to New York in less than four hours, arriving at 9:55 p.m. local time to celebrate again in Times Square. Hawaii and Acapulco round out the 11-day itinerary for 94 people. As for the so-called Y2K bug that some fear may foul up air traffic, company owner Donald L. Pevsner of Merritt Island, Fla., said, “we’re not expecting problems”--but an “escape clause” limits refunds if snafus occur. For reservations, see a travel agent or call (800) 863-9376.
