KLM helps travellers in need by harnessing the power of Twitter #happytohelp

KLM the Royal Dutch Airlines is proud of its customer service, but you of course have to fly with the company to experience it. Well for one week only the company wanted to give others a taste so they set up a 27/4 #happytohelp control centre where they tracked down travellers who need help, mostly by scanning Twitter via search words.

While most problems could be solved over Twitter, others needed more attention. For example they helped some people across the Hudson river in a speed boat, provided a bed for sleeping passengers, and even gave a just married couple a honey moon transfer. Make sure you check out the video above and go here for more heart-warming videos.
