I’m thrilled to announce that Virgin has created another world-first with the introduction of the technology required to produce the worlds first glass-bottomed plane. This technological innovation coincides with the start of Virgin Atlantic Airways first ever domestic service to Scotland.
Space Adventures have been in the game a long time now, but how many paying customers have they sent to space? Plus, the idea is about an agency not a broker or provider. Ie, somewhere you can see flights offered by multiple vendors.
No flight list on Virgin Galactic or SpaceX or Blue Origin. In most cases, you would likely just be faced with a form where you give them money and they send you marketing materials about how good it would be – hit “FLY WITH US” an you won’t see any departures list or reviews from happy customers. Slowly slowly catch a monkey.
Thanks ESA. Search their site and they have a page about space travel agencies, and yep – it’s a kids school project about how it would/could be – which indicates they are not quite there yet. lol.
Rocket Breaks claim to be a space travel agency – but nope, just a page full of marketing hype and no list of departures here. When will this finally happen for real?

Smaller cheaper airports should do this. Wouldn’t take much for someone to make a site that pulls empty seats information and lists them by airport so folk can book one when they arrive for a random holiday.
Looks like none of the main airlines discount chartered flights, which is a shame. Surprised they don’t go out of their way to sell empty seats, especially when they could just have an online booking terminal at the airport.

A London based design firm designed seats that could be adjusted to fit oversized passengers, but this just means making everyone pay for the gap in between. This doesn’t seem to solve the problem because now thin people will pay the price and overweight people will still splill into their allotted space, so agreed, someone needs to solve this problem still.
Transforming Airline Seats Adjust Width for Each Passenger
A London design firm has come up with the Transformer of airline seats that would allow an airline to adjust the width of the individual chairs between flights based on passenger needs.
This exists, be aware cultural differences make it difficult to know how it will go, so keep these in mind when travelling and choosing your service/hotel.
This exists, and this looks like a good one – though its only for the official museum owners to use, that’s silly, why can’t anyone make their own tour of places they visit?
Great idea, Brighton Pavillion has an audio tour, they should put it online and in apps, so people can listen without visiting, it would serve as a great ad and encourage people to visit the only Palace no longer owned by the crown.

Great idea but just found this. “The main rock in South East England’s coastline is chalk. Chalk cannot be broken down into sand. The pebbles on Brighton’s Beach are mainly composed of flint. (Yes, the kind of flint that you can strike to make a fire). Flint’s a very useful substance in developing societies even if it doesn’t erode well into sand.” Oh well…

I couldn’t watch it, not after seeing this clip.
I could watch this all day, better through a screen than an awkward window.

And hire ARCTIC BLASTERS out to the guests.
Winter wonderland snowball fights exist, but yeah, better by a pool in the med. I can’t believe they don’t do this already. Snow is already cold!
buy them like ice in supermarkets, or here.

Japan will do it first. Page 24 of this pdf gives some ideas on how AR can improve the travel sector.
After covid, I wonder how many families just immerse themselves in VR or AR rather than get out into the open and see new REAL things?

We are not a market, and not just do-gooders, we are doing good. for God.
I think more popular would be the existing mission trips that treat Christians to a self-indulgent break from life’s difficulties.
But if you can get there without hiking, it’s not really isolated.
ahhh covid
Bad idea for some people, it would drive me nuts. And does drive people nuts according to the experts.
a tonic or poison, depends on the individual I guess. This is worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxQe9bPDW5E
This is a thing… would love to go there.
And the hotels should be cashless and keyless. Just clean saferooms you can hire to crash after a night out in town. Should be a thing already but yeah, robots would be cool. What if they had urrr, sex droids selling services?

These look cool but yeah they should have bunkers and dips where balls get stuck.
There is this hotel that hangs over a cliff. This sort of thing would be amazing in a busy city.
Nice idea, or even pools that overhang the street, would be amazing on Broadway or in Vagas somewhere.

If Brighton does this, I think it best to go for pink.

This is genius!
These exist and they look comfortable
Found the video, I would book a flight on this for sure.

This would be ace, especially if it had a map that looked like this and animated as you travelled from town to town.
Making them is easy. Would love to kit my entire garden with this setup.
Got these for the windowsill, highly recommend them.
