Depart and return from the airport ... Mock flights in Taiwan to entertain residents
Taiwan is trying to meet the needs of its residents who are craving to travel, in light of the restrictions imposed by the emerging corona virus, by providing a fake flight test that does not really take them anywhere.
In July, the "Songshan" airport in Taiwan gave its residents the opportunity to pretend to travel, relive the experience of passing through immigration procedures, boarding a plane, and then disembarking to return to their country.
EVA Air upgrades the fake travel experience by offering an actual flight, and if you're wondering where the flight is going, it won't get anywhere.
According to "CNN Arabia", "EVA Air", one of the largest airlines in Taiwan, is offering a special flight today, August 8th (Father's Day in Taiwan), to help meet the travel needs of their customers.
The flight will take about 3 hours, and the flight will take off from "Taipei Taoyuan" airport, to fly in the sky before returning to the airport itself.
"The international travel market has been suspended for more than half a year," EVA Air said in a press release on its website, then added: "Citizens' cries for travel abroad are getting stronger. To satisfy travelers' desires, EVA Air decided to offer an alternative travel experience on August 8th, on Father's Day.
If it is a clear day, passengers will be able to enjoy views of famous landmarks in Taiwan, including the coast of "Huadong", in addition to its neighboring islands.
Passengers will board the super-popular "Hello Kitty Dream", an A330 aircraft.
Passengers can expect "Hello Kitty" amenities, in addition to free "Wi-Fi" and an in-flight entertainment system that was usually restricted to long-haul flights only.
In-flight dining will also be a prominent feature of the flight.
Main dishes include chirashi don, prepared by 3-star Michelin chef, Motocazo Nakamura, as well as a classic noodle dish with beef.
The flight departs at 10:30 am and operates under flight number "BR5288".
But why exactly is the number 5288? When pronouncing these numbers, they are similar to the phrase “I love my father” in Chinese.
And the ticket in the economy class costs 180 dollars.
Passengers can upgrade their seats to Business Class for an additional $ 34.
