20 Hotel Room Tricks You Need to Be Using (The Flight Attendant Way)

Flight attendants spend more nights in hotel rooms than in their own beds — so crew pass these little hotel habits to each other on every layover. Here are my 20 favourite hotel room tricks: why you never let them say your room number out loud, the floors crew ask for, the two-minute arrival routine, where your suitcase should sleep, why one shoe goes in the safe, how to test the safe first, closing the curtain gap, the alarm-clock check, steaming clothes in the shower, the hair dryer trick, the minibar rule, keeping your key card away from your phone, asking for late checkout the right way and the leaving sweep that means you never forget anything again. 00:00 A hundred hotel nights a year 00:42 #1 Don't say my room number 01:27 #2 The right floor 02:21 #3 The two-minute arrival routine 03:10 #4 Where your suitcase goes 04:08 #5 Photo of the room number 05:03 #6 The door habit 05:48 #7 Do not disturb, the crew way 06:29 #8 One shoe in the safe 07:10 #9 Test the safe first 08:01 #10 Close the curtain gap 08:38 #11 Check the alarm clock 09:14 #12 Make your own white noise 10:08 #13 Steam your clothes in the shower 10:56 #14 The hair dryer trick 11:37 #15 Don't touch the minibar 12:18 #16 The shower cap and ice bucket 13:08 #17 Keep the key card away 14:00 #18 Ask for late checkout early 14:49 #19 Two alarms, always 15:43 #20 The leaving sweep Every hotel is different — check your hotel's own rules, and ask the front desk when in doubt.
