LET'S TAKE A TRIP IN THE ZEP


The Goodyear blimps don't take paying customers, but the Farmers Airship—the world's largest zeppelin, and the only one in North America—does. It also has huge seats, windows that open and a bathroom with a view: you can see why the original zeppelin folks thought the idea would catch on for travel. This one is safer than the 1930s model (helium, not hydrogen, provides lift), and flies regularly from historic Moffett Field near San Francisco, with occasional flights in Southern California and elsewhere. $375 per person for a 45-minute flight; airshipventures.com
