> having a private cabin with a shower
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.
If it ever actually gets off the ground, Boom Supersonic is allegedly targeting a $5000 business class trip for transatlantic.
