Pol Hoenderboom, creative director at DDB & Tribal, Worldwide Amsterdam, said: “For the last half year we’ve been actively searching Twitter for the most common questions travelers ask. #HappytoHelp is a huge international, real-time event where we actually don’t know what questions we will run into. I can say one thing though: we are thoroughly prepared.”

Aiming to answer questions posed throughout the world, the team are scanning Twitter for those facing travel woes and responding with a creative and relevant #HappytoHelp answer produced and personalised for each single passenger in real-time.

The campaign will run until 17 October.
