This paper describes problem of space flight intercontinental flight with passengers or cargo via suborbital orbits. It describes the necessary monitoring network as well as the operating procedures with connection of flights in airspace and in space itself. Paper takes into account existing models of spacecraft (space vessels) and concept designs to introduce possible solutions to this type of travelling. Last section deals with the issue of ground infrastructure – spaceport, for a given type of transport and focuses on the existing spaceport in USA and presents it as a model for future spaceports around the world.
