A flight attendant has shared a clever mobile phone charging hack that could save you from the frustration of forgetting your plug adapter on holiday. While many of us rely on our phones for photos, navigation, and staying in touch, a dead battery can put a damper on any trip.
The Genius Trick
Esther Sturrus, who has worked as a flight attendant since 2019 with TUI and KLM, revealed the simple solution in a popular TikTok video. 'World travel plug broken? Use your USB cable and charge it in the TV,' she advised. The 24-year-old, who has amassed over 221,000 followers, explained that this hack is extremely helpful if you forgot or lost your wall plug.
Other Hotel Hacks
In the same video, Esther shared additional tips for hotel stays:
- Use a clothes hanger to close any gaps in your curtains for better darkness.
- Cover the TV remote with a shower cap to protect against germs.
- Place a shoe in the hotel safe or locker to remind yourself to grab your valuables before leaving.
- Use any card (like a loyalty card) to activate the lights or air conditioning in the room.
These practical suggestions have resonated with travelers worldwide, offering simple solutions to common travel woes.
Behind the Scenes with Cabin Crew
In related news, an Emirates flight attendant recently explained why cabin crew wear special pyjamas on long-haul flights. Dani, a stewardess, showcased her red and striped crew pyjamas in a TikTok clip, stating: 'During long haul flights, cabin crew will change into the pyjamas and take their break. If an emergency should occur while the crew are on their break, and they don't have time to get changed into their normal uniform, they can still be easily identified to customers.'
Viewers praised the policy, with comments like 'That's actually very smart' and 'Cute, practical and necessary.'
