The agreement on cross-strait charter flights calls for the first flight to take place on July 4, and imposes no special eligibility requirements for passengers. Anyone holding valid documentation, regardless of whether they are from Taiwan, mainland China, or a foreign country, can board the flights.
「兩岸週末包機」的協議包括：自 7 月 4 日首飛；乘客身分不設限，只要持合法證件，無論兩岸民眾或外籍旅客一概適用。包機在直航開通前，沿用「先向南繞經香港飛航情報區，再轉折向北」的既有航線。
