Well, I'm not crazy about MEGA cruise ships, I do agree that we when we do travel, we should slow down and enjoy the journey.
Could the #airship be the answer to #sustainable #AirTravel – or is it all a load of hot air?

"Though an airship, which typically flies at around 100-130km/h, won't ever reach the speeds of a jet plane, they are being talked about as forms of slow travel like cruise ships and night trains, where the experience makes up for the speed.
"Airships fly at a lower altitude than a plane, with unpressurised cabins where you can open and look out of the window, making it more comfortable for passengers. The large balloon also takes far less energy to power – and potentially could operate with electric engines powering liftoff and steering, making them a zero-carbon emitting form of air transport. "
