what if they made a flying hotel and it timed it's flight for you arrive at a convenient time? that way it could be very slow and carry a lot of passengers.

- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoA "sleeper plane" with bunk beds instead of seats, kind of like a flying capsule hotel? Sign me up!
- ghaff 8y agoThey exist. I’m not sure where there are true sleeping compartments outside of Emirates but international business class seating (and first even more so) with lie flat seats is pretty comfortable
- TeMPOraL 8y agoLike a cruise ship, but in the sky? Sadly, they went out of fashion after the Hindenburg, and never came back.
- JasonFruit 8y agoI would take more vacations just for the chance to take a leisurely flight on a dirigible with a world class chef. In fact, the flight might be the vacation.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoSame here. I dream of taking such a flight. The destination doesn't really matter.
- netsharc 8y agoI guess that's the cruise ship model. Normally you go on a ship to get somewhere, but on a cruise ship, the vacation starts as you board, and end as you disembark (excluding the dockings for day trips of course...). Airshipping to see the landscape of Europe would be kinda awesome (the Alps, or the fjords of Norway, the award-winning fjords)...
- JasonFruit 8y agoExactly — I'm not a cruise ship kind of guy, but for some reason an airship makes the difference. I'd love to fly low over the møøse . . .
- TeMPOraL 8y agoI'm not a cruise ship kind of guy either. Part of the reason is because - from what I've seen - cruise ships are just one big indoor party, with nothing interesting outside to look at. An airship flying over land would have ever-changing interesting vistas to look at. Also, simply, flying.
- lmm 8y agoVery much depends on the cruise. I took a cruise down the Danube that I'd highly recommend - like a road trip but without the hassle of packing and unpacking your stuff every night.
- jlebrech 8y agoyou could have 1 section to see the land as you fly over and a solarium area to sunbathe or look at the night sky.
