Forgetting your mobile phone charging adapter while on holiday can be as frustrating as losing your passport. While a digital detox can be refreshing, most travelers rely on their phones for photos, finding restaurants, booking activities, and staying connected. If you arrive at your hotel exhausted only to realize you lack a compatible charger, don't panic.
The Genius Hack from a Flight Attendant
Esther Sturrus, a cabin crew member since 2019 who has worked with TUI and KLM, shared an ingenious solution on TikTok. With 221,000 followers, she posted a video revealing six hotel tricks. She advises: "World travel plug broken? Use your USB cable and charge it in the TV." This works for those who forgot or lost their wall plug.
Other Useful Tips
Esther also suggests using a clothes hanger to cover curtain gaps, placing a shower cap over the TV remote to avoid germs, and putting a shoe inside a locker to remember valuables. Additionally, any card can activate hotel room lights and air conditioning, as reported by the Express.

Viewers praised the policy as "clever" and "practical."
