Expanding on what OzMan said a bit...

The commercial weightless trips, until now, have been in "vomit comets"... planes that take dives to simulate brief periods (lasting only a few minutes at best) of weightlessness, while still maintaining flight within the constraints of the Earth's Atmosphere.

These new-un's are actually in "space" - outside of the Earth's Atmosphere.
