And vomit. 4+G on launch. Freefall during cruise. 5+ G on reentry. Give me the first class ticket on a BA flight any day.

That sounds amazing actually. As of today, I'd consider a few minutes of micro gravity to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If that ever becomes something you can experience for the price of an airline ticket, I'd consider the ride itself to be worth the price of admission all on its own.

Obviously not for everyone, but you don't really need to be able to service _everyone_ to be profitable.

You can do it today for the price of a reduced-gravity aircraft ticket (~$5,000, https://www.gozerog.com)
The vomit can be fixed by the standard issue vomit bag! \s
