Passengers must take a PCR test before being allowed to board their flights but will not be required to undergo quarantine.
Taiwanese travel blogger Shih Song-han called the four-day trip a “rare opportunity.”
“It has been a whole year without traveling. It will be whole new experience for every passenger. I also want to show my fans about how open international travel is,” Shih said.
