Love it or hate it, April Fool’s Day is celebrated all over the globe so it’s no surprise that travel brands were keen to get in on the action and try to fool their customers. Read on to see which of their playful jokes impressed us the most…

Taking inspiration from our top ten destinations, we claimed to launch a delicious range of savoury ‘icelollies’, with flavours ranging from Italian Bolognese Biscotti to Turkish Doner Delight. It was always going to be a winner in our book!
We're pleased to reveal we'll be releasing an all-new selection of frozen ice lollies ahead of the summer season

Spanish Paella Perfecto
Italian Bolognese Biscotti
Turkish Doner Delight
U.S. Iceberger
Chilly Mexican Chilli
Royal Caribbean International
The cruise brand teased customers with the supposed launch of their cloud-class airplane, Master of the Skies, which was set to come complete with copious amounts of leg room (a definite give-away), robotic bartenders, and slides.
Meet Master of the Skies!

Set to join our fleet in 2022, the aircraft will offer guests mile-high thrills, including a never-before-seen 'slide in the sky' & shipboard faves such as the Bionic Bar & skydiving simulator! https://t.co/WQCfzAKXdb#RoyalCaribbean #HolidayMode pic.twitter.com/ZC3ZqXuQNy
On The Beach
Modelled by Gemma Collins, a bespoke swimsuit featuring solar panels so that wearers can charge their phones, and speakers in the bra cups so that they can enjoy the best summer tunes, was mocked up to fool On The Beach customers.

Emirates
The airline announced plans for a chauffeur-less drone service that would transport passengers in Dubai to and from the local airport in fully enclosed first-class private suites. Nice try, Emirates!
Fly on our chauffeur-less drones between any location in Dubai and @DXB, from April 2020. Each drone features two fully-enclosed First Class private suites. Our new drone airport transfer service will be offered to all Emirates Skywards Platinum members. #FlyEmiratesFlyBetter pic.twitter.com/s35dNg89jz
