I really hope they are successful. So sad not to have this option for ocean crossing flights.

- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoIt's not going to be an option, tickets will be tens of thousands of dollars
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> tickets will be tens of thousands of dollars So about what a Golden Era international flight cost, inflation adjusted [1]. Not bad. [1] https://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/history-of-flight-costs https://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/history-o...
- wkat4242 2y agoIt's what a private jet charter costs now. I bet rich execs prefer that despite the longer flying time. Getting direct to your destination, not having to rub shoulders with random people, stuff like that. It's also what killed the Concorde. Not enough comfort for the price.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> what a private jet charter costs now No, it’s not. A domestic non-transcontinental charter costs about as much as a top-of-the-line international first-class ticket (~$25k).
- wkat4242 2y agoTrue but I was thinking about what a boom ticket would cost. Should have clarified though. But also that charter is more expensive than I thought then yes. Though top execs rarely travel alone of course.
- Ajedi32 2y agoIt's obviously not going to be competing with prices from 60 years ago, it'll be competing with prices from today. Probably with first class tickets and private charter flights. I'm sure there's probably a suitable niche in there somewhere.
