Flight attendants have insider knowledge that can make your travels smoother. Here’s one genius hack from KLM flight attendant Esther that has gained over 48,000 likes on TikTok: put your shoe in the hotel safe to remember to retrieve it along with your valuables.
Esther shares six hotel hacks in a quick video on TikTok:
1. Use a hanger to clip curtains closed for total darkness. This works best with hangers that have attached clips.
2. Charge your phone via the TV’s USB plug if your international charger isn’t working. Simply plug the USB into the back of the TV.
3. Use a shower cap as a shoe cover, preventing dirt from spreading to other parts of your luggage.
4. Protect the remote control with a shower cap, which can act as a makeshift barrier against germs that accumulate on hotel room remotes.
5. Turn on lights without using the hotel key by using any card, such as a credit card or ID.
