Till Eckel, Executive Creative Director and Managing Director at Jung von Matt/Spree, said, ‘Flight prices are very transparent. This means, if we don’t have the lowest-priced offer, we must publicise the varied services available and use brand popularity to stand out’.

It’s something quite special’.
