Elon Musk has proposed the use of rockets and space ships instead of airplanes Source:

Elon Musk is not sitting idle and continues to invent new and new concepts. Today in his «Instagram» it is another interesting idea is to use rockets to fly anywhere in the Earth. According to him, in most places of our planet in this way can be reached in half an hour. To remote areas, he said, to fly a little longer — about one hour. To deliver passengers are encouraged to use the return of the rocket and spacecraft.

In order to illustrate his next venture, Musk posted a short video vividly describing all the advantages of such flights.

In advertising passengers come aboard the ship, passing an information Board that tells you that there is a flight from new York to Shanghai. The flights at a distance of 11 897 kilometers will take 39 minutes. Further, the ship takes passengers on a water platform with a ready to fly rocket. People occupy seats in the vehicle, after which it is launched. Moving the ship into orbit, the first stage back, and the passengers continued the flight and at the end successfully sit on the platform in Shanghai. The journey from Hong Kong to Singapore, according to the trailer, only takes 22 minutes, and from Los Angeles to Toronto you will arrive in 24 minutes.

Fast, cool and futuristic flying transport SpaceX, paying for the service in little more than a seat in the plane, it would be very cool. But the details and timing in which it intends (and does generally) implement the idea, Musk has not yet reported.
