It's a nice thought, but frankly if you have the ability to spend your time like that while traveling then you're probably already in the target market for this... wealthy people with money and time to burn. How often do you find yourself booking train cabins for long-distance travel?

And yes, it absolutely was an Archer reference.

Wealthy people already have their private jets. The only way it makes sense for regular people to cross the Atlantic in less than eight hours is for it to be a nominally miserable experience while of course burning lots of fuel with all the negative externalities that entails. Passenger jet forces us to put up with some significant problems and I think airships are just a better way.
