On April 1st, Emirates Airline unveiled the design for its new plane, the APR001, also supposed to be the world’s largest commercial aircraft, complete with every pretentious luxury a bourgeoisie heart could desire.

The plane boasts a host of new facilities including a swimming pool, a games room, a gym, and a park. The park is completely reasonable as one often wishes to take a stroll through a bhageecha while flying some 50,000 feet above the ground.
Obviously a plane with a pool in it made people go CRAAAZY
@emirates When can we book a flight?

Pakistani also fell hard for this joke
Their reactions ranged from omniscient “I-KNEW-IT” to “oh wow can’t wait for my dad to pay for this ticket”.
But soon it was revealed that Emirates knows how to make a good joke
Our triple-decker aircraft concept was a fun way to bring in April 1st. Thank you for sharing our enthusiasm for air travel as it should be. https://t.co/j9cavIwl9Q
