Concorde is about 4x faster than an airliner with a fairly limited range. BFR is 10x faster with global range. The point being that you can do 10x the trips and make 10x the money compared to airlines. Plus there's no taxiing around an airport. It's purely refuel and go. Even if my numbers are out Concorde was borderline viable and BFR should be more capable of bringing in money. Plus you go into frigging space. Branson wants to sell just that, this gets you into space and down to China. Another advantage I can think of over Concorde is that there should be more space and the trip is only ever 30-40 mins, so no cramping up in the seat. Finally a Concorde ticket was about $12,000, BFR was mentioned to be $1-2k at the end of the video.
