I'm always hopeful that airships will make a comeback. I would love to be able to travel from the United States to Europe on an airship, just like they did at the in the early 20th century. I can see a lot of advantage from a comfort perspective, even if it does take more time than a plane. If you are interested in the history of airship travel, and its rise and fall, I highly recommend The Deltoid Pumpkin Seed by John McPhee. It's a short book about an unlikely union of ex Navy airshipmen and evangelical Christians chasing the impossible dream of brining airship travel back in an era where the world had moved on from airship travel.
