Also they are constrained by weight, not volume, so there's plenty of legroom. The Hindenburg had private cabins, a lounge, a bar, and a dining room (and a smoking room!). More like a cruise ship than an airliner.

- kaffeemitsahne 7y agoNever realized there was passenger space inside the hull! That makes me slightly less stupefied about the enormous size/capacity ratio of zeppelins.
- xeeeeeeeeeeenu 7y agoWell, if you are willing to pay 15k+ USD for a ticket, airlines like Emirates or Etihad have those things too.
- ryanlol 7y agoI’ve done several long intercontinental trips in F on the emirates A380 and usually paid less than 4k for the tickets. But yeah, depends on the route.
