I dont know i agree. Trans-antlantic flights kind of suck. If i was doing tourist things (and the cost point was right) i would definitely prefer a 3 hour flight. Not sure i would pay double for it, but i do think there is a market for this.

You'll pay double (or more) for it. You can have a much better experience today if you fly business.

Well that's the question right? What is the price point. All products have a price where people won't buy it.

But i suspect even if its double, that would still be enough to attract business class peeps, which might make it economically viable.

The issue concord had was also that a lot of people would rather a luxury seat on a conventional airliner rather than be squished in on a supersonic airliner.

I kinda doubt that dynamic changes.
