Our newsroom was spared the embarrassment of being fooled by any April 1 pranks due to Easter, but that doesn’t mean that jokes weren’t being had both here and overseas.
Here’s some of the best travel related April Fools Day jokes from around the world:

Now, we’re introducing a brand-new feature in our app:
Icelandair UP TO DATE, where our passengers can “go out” for an in-flight date!
Every year we get many calls from people telling us that they’ve met their significant other on board our planes. To us it’s a definite win-win: Dating while passing the time on your flight!
