Well, the technology used for Galactic, will one day allow us to fly to Sydney in half-an-hour - so they say.
Shame security will add an extra 5 onto that

Thanks for the link. I might book one of these into my long term diary, though I think I might let the 2008 test pilots confirm the safety before I confirm my booking.

No mention of how many miles would be earned or how many tier (terra)points. Might be nice to requalify for gold on just one flight.

I think it's probably best to go a little while after it has been running, but not too far off;)

Presumably, seeing as it is a very short hop, not many. I guess it would be half the current TP's to Aus as it is only 1 leg!

If I had the money I would be signing up now you only live once. Pity it would take me 20 years to save that kind of money[B)]

I think you should automatically go gold, seeing as you have just spent in the region of £100,000:D

It might only take 10 years if you do a MPM fare.[:o)]

I think I'll let SRB try it first....
But indeed, if I had that kind of money to spend I would be there.
