A flight attendant’s TikTok is going viral thanks to her unusual — but useful!— hotel room hack.
The KLM flight attendant, known as@esthersturruson the video app, shared several tips she uses during her frequent short hotel stays, but one in particular caught users' attention:put a shoe in your hotel safe.
“Worried about forgetting something from your locker? Put your heel/shoe in it so you won’t forget it!,” she wrote on the TikTok, as she placed a navy blue high heel inside. Guests wouldn’t leave the room without two shoes on, so it will serve as a reminder to check the safe for any valuables they might have otherwise accidentally forgotten — and retrieve their essential footwear.
Additional tips she gave in the video included using a hanger with clips to fully close hotel curtains in the room for privacy or to maintain complete darkness.
She added one more tip for people staying in a hotel room where the key card must be inserted into a slot to turn on the lights, stating that any card will work in the slot, not just a room key.
The video has received 1.1 million views on Tiktok and 50,000 likes so far, prompting her to make asecond videowith even more hotel hacks. In that video she also added in a hack for keeping a toothbrush upright in a hotel plastic cup, how to de-steam a bathroom mirror quickly, and how to freshen wrinkled clothes.
