One flight attendant took to TikTok to reveal the careful safety measures they take when travelling in hotels abroad. People should have their wits about them when travelling alone
A flight attendant has shared some useful knowledge Brits can take with them when travelling, including the grim reason you should leave a towel by the door.
The tips from TikTok user CiCi, also known as @ciciinthesky, might seem a bit strange, but they will help ensure a person’s safety when they are travelling to a hotel alone. CiCi said that she carries out routine checks whenever she checks in to a new hotel room. “I check the closet, the shower and behind the curtains, check to make sure the phone works,” she said. “After all that’s clear shut the door and I make sure that this is closed.”
CiCi also said she covers up the keyhole in the door and places the do not disturb sign on the handle outside the room. The flight attendant also uses a washcloth towel in between the door latch so it can’t be opened with a tool.
“Make sure you know where your fire exits are,” CiCi advised, adding that she always puts her bag in front of the door and volume on the TV up.
In the caption on the clip, she said: “My military father raised me and my sisters to be situationally aware and vigilant wherever we are… I have raised my daughters the same way. We don’t live in fear, we are cautious.”
There are plenty of tips out there for travelling Brits to take heed of to help them when they are travelling on planes. One flight attendant has revealed why people should avoid eating off the tray table.
Some may be tempted to an in-flight meal purchased on the plane or in an airport shop before the flight, but a flight attendant has warned us all not to lapse into one grim habit. The easyJet crew member said people should “never eat directly off the tray table” and even revealed the gross reasons behind the tip. “Attendants see so many people lay their heads, change their babies’ nappies and even have their feet on the tray tables,” she said according to the Express.
The crew member was responding to a survey by luxury membership platform, Velloy, which asked flight attendants from popular airlines such as TUI, Virgin Atlantic, British Airways and easyJet to share their top tips for passengers. If people really want to use the trays, the attendant said it is a good idea to ask some of the in-flight crew to wipe down the surface for them or just hand the passenger an antibacterial wipe.
