A comment on Balloon Buster.

Am I the only one who's lately had the sudden urge to take a ride in a zeppelin?

Paradoxically it feels like a relic and thing of the future. Floating across the Atlantic seems like it'd be so much fun.

Maybe this whole thing is an ingenious marketing campaign by big-blimp.

On many a cramped flight I have fantasised about floating from country to country in comfort with cabins and a bar.

Just fly Emirates A380 business class. They have a bar. Or you can upgrade to a first class private cabin.

I had the same thought a few months ago. Unfortunately I cant imagine a ride costing much less than $1000.

Sounds great, except that you'll use half your vacation days on the trip plus the return trip.
