WestJet and Google were among many companies releasing slickly-produced pranks on April Fool’s Day.
The airline posted a video Sunday morning with a fake announcement about child-free cabins on some flights.
It said parents could check in their kids as they would their luggage.
On April 1 last year, WestJet vowed to start filling its cabins with helium to save passengers money.
Meanwhile Google released a YouTube video which appeared to unveil Google Translate for Animals, a new application to help owners communicate with their pets.
And Virgin posted a bogus news release on its website titled, “Richard Branson launches journeys to the centre of the Earth through Virgin Volcanic.”
