I like airline brands that know how to have some fun with their advertising campaigns. It\u2019s that time of the year, and airlines are once again busy fooling their distracted social media followers and customers\u00a0while making the rest of the world laugh.<\/p>\n
The SimpliFlying research team spent\u00a0the last weekend tracking most of the April Fool\u2019s Day worldwide. We have done a roundup of the best airline advertising campaigns, and we announce the winner of the\u00a0SimpliFools Award<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the airline with the most innovative prank at the end.<\/p>\n For those interested, here are\u00a0some of the best April Fool\u2019s airline advertising campaigns in the past decade \u2013\u00a02022<\/a>, 2016<\/a>, 2014<\/a> and 2013<\/a>!<\/p>\n JetBlue launched a \u201csnack mask\u201d, a whiteboard where you could state your meal preferences. I found the humour to be slapstick, but hey \u2013 it was April Fool\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n Never miss another tomato juice, ginger ale or salty snack again. Introducing: The JetBlue Snack Mask.

Especially while travelling, where we\u2019re all a bit out of practice, it can be stressful at the best times, and air travel seems more emotionally charged than ever.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n We know everyone has a lot of feels when travelling. and while checked and carry-on still come at a fee, your emotional baggage is always free.
