Flight attendant suggests shoe trick to remember hotel safe

Summarised from Liverpool Echo's report · Updated 19 Oct, 17:38 · Archive

A flight attendant recommends placing a shoe in your hotel safe with valuables to avoid forgetting them when you leave.

A flight attendant has suggested a simple trick to avoid forgetting valuables in a hotel safe: place an item you must take with you, such as a shoe, inside the safe. When you come to pack and realise your shoe is missing, you are forced to open the safe and retrieve your passports, jewellery, cash, watches or electronics stored there.

The attendant, known online as Barbie Bac, also warned about bed bugs in hotels. She advised inspecting mattresses, headboards and luggage racks for insects or suspicious signs upon arrival, and storing suitcases in the bathtub rather than on floors or near soft furnishings. If bed bugs are found, she recommended keeping bags closed and requesting a room change from reception, as the insects can quickly infest luggage and travel home with guests.
