Starship's payload volume is around 1000 m ^3, which should be about the same as an A380 interior volume.

For a flight time between 20 (minimum) and 40 minutes (maximum) to anywhere on earth, this volume could comfortably fit 1000 passengers per flight.

At 2 or 3 times the price of a regular ticket, their offer would be a direct competitor against business class tickets, if they can reduce enough the risk, and handle logistics of rapid reuse.
