For Myself,

sitting in a aircraft seat for the journey is bad enough,

but worse as far as I am concerned, is the queuing up at the ticket desk for the full check-in procedure, airport security checks, passport verification, as well the boarding the airplane, photograph Taipei Songshan Airport, so it came as a bit of a surprise that some people actually pay for this service, then board the plane have the cabin crew give passengers the usual instructions as well as some information relating to the Covid-19 pandemic, and serve them snacks and coffee, before preparing them for the fake landing, yes the aircraft never actually gets off of the ground!

ever since Taiwan closed off its borders in mid-March, travelers have been forced to dream and reminisce about their past adventures in foreign lands, but on July 2nd, the Songshan Airport in Taipei introduced an offbeat service that gives people the full airport experience without the actual takeoff, “In addition to letting the participants go through security screening, identification inspection and other immigration clearance procedures, they actually boarded the plane to experience the fun of boarding,” Ting Hsu, who works in Songshan Airport’s planning department, told CNN Travel, the airport first announced plans to introduce the fake flight service in early June, inviting those willing to experience it to register. Over 7,000 people opted in, of which 180 were chosen for the first three tours, while most flights in Taiwan are still grounded because of the Covid-19 outbreak, Taipei Songshan Airport is offering locals a tiny taste of travel, dubbed “pretend to go abroad” airport tours, Taiwan carrier China Airlines operated the first “fake flight”, on July 2nd, and Eva Tours will host the second and third ones, I have no idea what this service costs, but I for one do not want the experience, even for free!
