So what are rides on White Knight II going for?

The craft is surprisingly acrobatic, too. That means it is able to
offer passengers zero-gravity flights. At the moment, a Boeing 727
provides such flights commercially for the Zero Gravity
Corporation, a travel company. But the 727 is an ageing and
thirsty vehicle. Mr Whitehorn reckons that, subject to the
appropriate permissions, White Knight Two could offer zero-G
flights for around $1,000 each, a fifth of the fare now charged.

Heck, I'd pay good money just to ride on White Knight Two just to see a
suborbital launch from that viewpoint. It would sure beat trying to watch
from the ground!
