Due to the nature of their job, flight attendants have more experience staying in hotels than most other people do. Some of them are drawing from that experience and sharing valuable tips on TikTok to help other travelers.
TikToker @cici.inthesky frequently posts videos in which she gives her followers various hotel-related tips and advice. She spends “over 100 nights a year” in hotels and is well familiar with how they work and how to make your stay safe and comfortable.
One of the things she recommends is always having a portable door lock and door alarm with you. The door lock will prevent most methods used to bypass the hotel door locks, while the door alarm notifies you when someone enters the room and keeps the door from opening.
In case you forgot to bring these items with you, TikToker shared an alternative method you can use to secure the hotel door. It includes fitting two hangers in a way that prevents the door handle from being pushed down and the upper lock from being removed.
Staying in hotels should be a safe experience, but it doesn’t hurt to be extra cautious. Make sure to check other videos from @cici.inthesky to learn how to protect yourself from intruders and unwanted guests.
