A flight attendant has baffled the internet after sharing her best travelling secrets – including using shower caps for shoes and a hanger for your curtains.
Esther Sturrus dreamed of being a flight attendant from a very young age. In a quest to follow her dream, she began attending a three-year aviation course when she was 16, before going on to work for TUI in 2019 and moving to KLM in 2020.
Now, with her expertise and knowledge, she reveals the golden tips and tricks to keep in mind when travelling.
In a clip uploaded on TikTok, which has racked up more than one million views and more than 52,000 likes, she shared insight into the top 10 things to remember while abroad.
Leave a shoe in the safe
Many hotels, hostels and holiday rentals come with a safe, which allows travellers to secure any expensive or important items that they’d like to keep locked away.
“My biggest tip is to leave your shoe in the safe,” Esther, aged 22, from Rotterdam, Netherlands, told NeedToKnow.co.uk “This way you will never forget anything from your safe. You will notice when you want to leave that you are missing a shoe, it’s also quite a funny one!”
Soak a small towel when you arrive at your hotel
Aeroplanes are renowned for their dry air, as they circulate the outside air in order to keep the indoor air fresh and healthy to breathe.
But, unfortunately, this constant onslaught of fresh outdoor air keeps humidity levels way down, which means that you dehydrate faster than normal.
To help combat dry air while travelling, Esther said all you need is a small towel.

“Being on planes means you always suffer from the dry air. And it is not nice if you also have dry air in your hotel room. So another big tip of mine is, when you arrive at your accommodation, soak a small towel and place it in front of the heater,” she said, adding: “That water evaporates and in a small hotel room that can bring just a little relief.”
Create space by rolling clothes
When it comes to packing, most travellers will try to fit as much as they can in bags and suitcases. This method allows you to fit much more.
“It always seems like there’s never enough room in your luggage when packing for a great journey,” Esther said. “However, one of the top travel hacks for packing is to roll your clothes instead of folding them.”
