Fly to New York - by solar-powered floating apartment?

London-based design agency launches new airship concept for greener travel
I've always wanted to go to New York, but never more so now that I've heard about the posh new airships that have been designed by London firm Seymourpowell.
Imagine relaxing in your own luxury penthouse, sipping champagne and lounging on a king-size bed for the journey, rather than being squished into no-frills cattle class.
Of course, it might take a bit longer to reach The Big Apple - 31 hours longer to be precise, at a cruising speed of just 90mph - but who needs speed when these fancy aircraft come complete with their own glass viewing floors and even a bar?
Not only that, they are silent, solar-powered and pollution-free! And apparently they could be a reality as soon as 2015.
Get in line to reduce your carbon footprint…
