A flight attendant has shared her top tips for those who travel frequently and stay in hotels. With years of experience navigating hotel rooms across the globe, she’s picked up a few essential hacks that can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth and worry-free stay. From clever ways to monitor your room’s security to foolproof methods for safeguarding valuables. The tips were shared by TikTok account danidboyy1, who is an Emirates crew member.
The ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign. While the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign is typically used to prevent housekeeping from entering your room, it can also serve as a simple yet effective security measure. The next time you leave your room, instead of just hanging the sign on the door handle, try placing it between the door and the doorframe.
This small adjustment will immediately alert you if anyone enters your room while you’re away. If the sign is moved or removed, it’s a clear indication that someone has accessed your room. Lock away something you can’t leave without. When securing your valuables in the hotel safe, it’s essential to lock away something that you can’t leave without—something that you’re guaranteed to remember. For most people, this is their passport. However, this flight attendant also recommends a quirky but highly effective trick: lock one of your shoes in the safe.
It might sound odd, but it’s foolproof. When you’ve locked away one of your shoes, you’ll definitely remember to check the safe before you head out. After all, no one leaves a hotel room without both shoes! This simple hack ensures that you’ll double-check the safe, avoiding the panic of leaving behind important items.
