We look forward to the jokes every year around this time. Airlines and airports posting funnies. Some so subtle, you might not even suspect its a prank. But then it later hits you and you think, “that can’t be right!” Those are our favorites.
This year though, with war, sickness, and inflation, the day feels a little dimmer than usual. Airlines and aviation accounts seemed to pick up on that mood. Major airlines like Delta, United, and American Airlines all seemed to sleep in today.
Southwest Airlines didn’t go all out but they didn’t pull any punches either. They did make a snarky post, highlighting the fact that they don’t charge bag fees for the first two bags (under 50 pounds, of course).
Even though most airlines were pretty lame this year, one airline did post a funny. Frontier Airlines–who is merging with Sprit Airlines later this year and that IS funny–posted that their famous animal tails will be supplemented by dinosaur photos. We’ll see how many dinosaur pics they receive.
Other Aviation accounts
Reflecting the mood this year, neither Airbus or Boeing took part in the day. One airport did though. DFW Airport posted that they finally made it up to Fort Worth and improved the name of the airport. It’s now known as FWD…chortle!
Did you see any great April Fools jokes this year? Let us know and we’ll update this story.
