12 hours on a plane is 12 hours on a plane. And there's currently no amount of ticket money that can make that shorter.

Shorter, no, but having a private cabin with a shower, and a lounge with a bartender on the plane, not to mention Starlink, would make those 12 hours a lot more bearable vs 12 in an economy seat.

    AFAIK: Showers are only available to first class customers flying via the major Gulf carriers. I checked Google flights for business class and first class tickets between Tokyo and London. Business is about 5,000 USD and first class is about 10,000 USD. Assuming that we are talking about first class here (to satisfy your shower requirement), what kind of developer is hacking code at 10,000 meters in first class... except... hmm... Mitchell Hashimoto?

      Wasn’t Concorde like 20-50% more expensive than a normal first class ticket for the same itinerary?

      So any hacker considering a SST flight should also be able to afford the first class cabin.
