Leave it to the always clever folks at Air New Zealand to come up with an April Fools’ Day joke that had me pause for just a moment. It is April 1st already down there, after all, and they “introduced” new StraightUp Fares as follows:
When you click on the button to book one of these new fares, you’re let in on the joke and asked to rank how funny you thought it was. Sadly, they don’t reveal the results from others, so I wonder just how many people selected the “I found this joke was bloody deplorable mate, bloody deplorable..” category.
What do you think? Funny? Not funny?

Looks like they stole the concept from the Ryanair playbook!
I didn’t laugh…until I saw the “seat” map. Then I cracked up. It’s funny!
