Integrated bathrooms?
What about transfers? Standbys?
Most trips today include flying to a hub, transferring to another plane.
Lose a pod similar to losing luggage. LOL
No longer any need for hubs. All flights are nonstop!
With the pod handling done by the aircraft, there will be in-flight pod transfers.
Instead of a "Flight", it is a "Trip". You can board anywhere - your local bus or train station, or outside the ball game. Pod would be passed by modular bus/train/tractor-trailer/ferry/steamship to airport, and then back to bus/train/etc.
Integrated bathrooms?
Please relax while the AutoPod buckles you into your seat and inserts the catheters and IV snack provision.
