In what fantasy world did you ever believe we could safely travel over the oceans in 4 hours?

The new jet could fly from London to New York in an hour - opening up the possibility of a transatlantic return journey in a day.
Concorde 2 would be capable of flying more than four times the speed of sound – or more than 2,500mph, according to documents lodged with the US Patent Office by the aerospace and defence group.

I would have to research it. I never heard of being able to travel that fast and it be safe for humans.

Pack some sandwiches and quit your bitching. I've done multiple 8-10 hour flights (we use Delta, try flying on the west coast by going from BTR to ATL to LAX to LAS) and all I do is download some King of the Hill episodes, bring some snacks, a book or two, and sleep.

I've made that flight but from dallas>LA>Auckland, flew with virgin/air new zealand which is awesome. Delta has the worst service off all and their planes are outdated.

I don't know why but his thread got me thinking, do they still offer transatlantic trips by sea?

I LOVE long flights.

You don't have to do anything except waste time. Read, do puzzles, play games, sleep. It's awesome.

You realize the airline industry is basically a government agency right? How many times have they gone bankrupt, with zero progress? Fits the government perfectly.
