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
