> Do you actually think most anyone can afford $5000 round trip to London?

I'm genuinely curious where you got "most anyone" from their marketing copy. I read it as "affordable for people flying business class," but that might be because I was thinking in the context of Concorde pricing.

Edit: Derp, totally glossed over that part of the parent comment.

$5,000 isn't an "everyone every time" price, of course. But it's low enough for routine business travel. With more innovation (this is just V1!), we can improve fuel economy and reduce prices further.
Wasn't the V1 subsonic and V2 supersonic? Sorry...
