Ally Case, a flight attendant, shared the helpful hack on TikTok which amassed a whopping 1.1million views and thousands of comments from grateful fans.
To ensure travellers avoid getting lost in huge hotels, Ally recommends placing their shoes in the direction of the elevator as soon as they enter the hotel room.
The savvy flight attendant explained that if you find yourself in a rush to leave or are just hoping to minimise the walking – guests will know which way to go.
This clever hack can also be applied on cruise ships, as it’s easy to get lost on them.
However, if you forget to use Ally’s trick, guests can rely on another hack to help orient themselves.
Cruisegoers should try to memorize the room numbers closest to the lift.
Paying attention to these details can help you navigate the boat without having to worry and ask for help.
Thousands of Ally’s fans thanked the flight attendant for her clever hack on TikTok.
“She might actually be a genius,” wrote one user.
Another added: “25-year airline pilot here….new life hack unlocked! Thanks!”
“This is gonna change my life,” a third commented.
While a fourth said: “THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY.”
it comes after a former flight attendant has revealed three common packing mistakes holidaymakers should avoid.
There are several items travellers shouldn’t pack in their carry-on to avoid baggage misery.
Ex-cabin crew member Saskia Sekhri recently shared three packing mistakes with the clothing company Joules.
Packing efficiently with limited space is much easier in the summer when clothes aren’t as thick and bulky.
But one former flight attendant has revealed how to make the most of limited hand luggage space when jetting off on a winter city break.
Don’t pack winter boots
She told the team at Joules: “Winter boots are a must in chilly destinations, but they can take up a lot of luggage space.
“Passengers often forget that they can wear their heavier boots on the plane, saving room in their suitcase and preventing them from being forced to check their luggage.”
Don’t pack coats into cases
Another bulky item holidaymakers should wear rather than pack is their coat.
She added: “Your coat is one of the bulkiest items you’ll pack for a winter break, yet many travellers opt to stash it in their suitcase rather than wear it to the airport.
“Wearing your coat can free up precious carry-on space and keep you cosy.
“If you get really cold on flights and are travelling to a cooler destination I’d recommend wearing a gilet underneath your coats, which is fashionable and practical!”
Don’t overpack on layers
In addition to wearing bulkier items, Saskia Sekhri also believes holidaymakers often overpack layers when flying to a cold destination.
The former flight attendant explained: “People tend to throw multiple thick jumpers into their bags when packing for wintery trips, however smart layering is key.
“Packing fewer, thinner but warmer layers, such as thermal tops or heat-retaining materials, can help save space without compromising on warmth.”
When it comes to travelling with just hand luggage, the former flight attendant shared four other packing tips.
Saskia recommended using compression packing cubes to save on space by compressing bulky items like jumpers and scarves.
Aim to pack neutral colours or monochrome outfits to create a capsule wardrobe, which means you can pack less.
The ex-cabin crew member also suggested checking to see if an accommodation provider has an iron, so you don’t have to worry about clothing items getting creased.
