In fact, Taipei’s Songshan airport will be offering a chance to 90 people to enjoy a tour of their airport and revive their experience of going through all the process in the said airport, including going through the process of immigration, a chance to board a plane, deboard it, and then return home.
Songshan is not the main international airport of Taipei. Flights from Songshan normally travel domestic or to select international. However, the COVID lockdown has brought almost every operation in Songshan airport to a halt, which gives it an opportunity to provide new fliers to experience the travel process or for veteran travelers to enjoy their airport fix.
Reportedly, international tourism has come to a halt in most parts of the world, with most of the countries shutting down their borders to contain spread of the Coronavirus, which has already infected more than 7 million people globally.
