I really wonder if a Zeppelin would be cheaper considering that it would require more personnel, accommodation and service for long period of time.

Actually like cruise ships: they are not cheaper than flying. They are a lot more comfortable.

What if you made them really huge and mostly automated? Make the service be mostly self-service, like at an extended-stay hotel?
