Wow, "There are still a few hours left in the flight,...

... so I'm going to play with the Wi-Fi a bit more and maybe take a nap. Planes are for sleeping". Nah! Planes are for flying from place to place (country to country...) as quickly as you can. How about trying to get some rich dudes to restart the operations of The "CONCORDE"!

Not going to happen

The Concorde and any future planes like it will not fly for a long time. The Concorde stopped flying because it was cost inefficient for British Airways and Air France. Add in the price of oil to the factor and there is less of a chance for an aircraft like the Concorde. This is why you are seeing Airbus and Boeing develop planes that can fly longer and more efficient.
