solution? bring back the Concorde. (yes, I know it's never going to happen in my lifetime)
I always wanted to fly on the Concorde but never had a reason to. Since it's gone I feel remorse everytime I think of it. I did get to see one once parked at IAD which was pretty exciting for me but that was as close as I would come to flying on one. I was amazed at how small it was in comparison to even the small mainline aircraft and the jumbo jet I was on dwarfed it.
