Hopefully everyone got the April Fool’s ha-ha’s out of their system today. But the winner, in my book, is Canadian airline WestJet, which announced that they were converting their overhead bins into sleeper seats.
Their press release offered this explanation:
By offering our existing overhead bins as sleeper cabins, guests will now have the opportunity to lie down for a period of time and arrive at their destination refreshed, rested and ready to go.
Well-played, WestJet. Well-played.
And in an alternate joke bound to make Chris Elliott cringe, “Richard Branson’s Virgin Blue airline got into the April 1 spirit by running newspaper ads offering half-priced fares for passengers willing to stand, with free calf massages on flights longer than two hours.”

I’ll buy a ticket in the overhead compartment if it comes with that chick.
