This January, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are bringing a boost of happiness to commuters to help combat the January Blues. KLM will be surprising commuters.

The KLMood Booster pop-up, which aims to bring some Dutch joy to passers-by, will come to Manchester’s Piccadilly Station on the 22nd January, as well as visiting London and Glasgow.

The KLMood Booster is a happiness dispensing vending machine which, from this Blue Monday, will ask commuters to input their mood through choosing an emoji most relevant to their mood on the day.

Dependent on the emoji, the KLMood Booster will then dispense personalised, Dutch gifts, which embody the essence of Gezelligheid. The Dutch term often used to describe a social, relaxed or cosy situation is the perfect antidote to winter blues.

In addition, there will be a variety of complimentary return flights to be won.

As the Netherlands is widely thought of as one of the happiest countries in Europe, ranking 5th on the World Happiness Report 2019, compared to the UK which took the 15th spot, KLM has decided to utilise their Dutch heritage to put a smile on Brits’ faces on Blue Monday.

“We’re absolutely delighted to be sharing the happiness inherent in our Dutch roots with the UK and especially excited to surprise British commuters with some of our favourite Dutch treats. For those who are unable to get away this January, we look forward to bringing a touch of the Netherlands to the UK and to sharing our passion for travel by creating an experience where everyone will have the chance to engage with Dutch culture.” (Benedicte Duval, General Manager for Air France-KLM in the UK & Ireland)
