They only have to go around 250-300 MPH to be competitive, once one factors in such things as the line at airport security, the wait in traffic getting to the airport, the flights delays due to weather, mechanical problems, etc., and a host of other things that regularly turn a two hour flight into a six+ hour ordeal.
