We’re not sure we found them all, but here are some of the April Fool’s Day posts airports shared today. You’ll notice a lot of animals.
If you spotted some other travel-related pranks we missed, let us know and we’ll add them.

Denver International Airport (DEN) actually does have a cat in there with the dogs that serve in the pet therapy program. So a llama on the safety inspection team? Why not?
Llama in training! If you see Matilda, DO NOT PET. She’ll soon become a DEN safety inspection team member. Llamas are social, gentle, their noses are 6x more powerful than dogs & they learn quickly. Matilda will be a great addition to the sniffer team! Her official debut: 5/12 🛅 pic.twitter.com/ZQx98D4tSX

No animals at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL). There the April 1 announcement was the ATL Rocket – “a tech-savvy SLIDE with state of the art screening capabilities.” I’m all for this being real.
Say hello to our newest edition, the ATL ROCKET! 🚀The ATL ROCKET is a tech savvy SLIDE with state of the art screening capabilities. It ensures you spending more time in the friendly skies than you'll ever spend standing in line pre-security again. #ATLRocket #NewBeginnings pic.twitter.com/fPHBC91QF6
