I know there's a lot of cynicism about supersonic flights that paints it as a stupid luxury for rich assholes. Prolonged periods of sitting really aggravate back pain for me, but I can handle walking reasonably well. If supersonic flights eventually came within 150% of normal tickets it would open up a lot of travel destinations that are currently inaccessible for me.
