The flight attendant revealed the tips you need to know while traveling, such as the items you should never touch in a hotel room, for the best way to win airline staff. Kat Kamalani of Salt Lake City, Utah, has built a devoted TikTok follower with her videos revealing the secrets of her work. The mother of two has more than five years of experience working for an American airline, but tries not to name which one.
In one of his most popular videos, which garnered more than four million views, Kat shares a simple trick that all air passengers can use if they want to board the right side of the flight attendants. “Being a flight attendant is exhausting,” Kat said. “You’re always in different time zones, waking up at different times and dealing with crazy clients. So I promise you next time you fly, if you want special treatment from flight attendants, that’s all you need to do: [give them] $ 5 Starbucks Gift Cards. ‘
“So for the world, when customers give us that. If you don’t have gift cards, you can take candies, lip balms – everything – and give them to your flight attendants. We will know where you sit, we will know what you look like and we will take care of you.
The video was a hit among viewers, with one saying, “Oh, I never thought about it! Thank you!’ Another wrote, “I gave my flight attendants donuts, and they treated me so well.” However, a handful of spectators wondered why passengers had to “bribe” staff to get good service.
Elsewhere, Kat reveals habits that every passenger should avoid during flights, from walking barefoot to putting his shoes on the man’s armrest in front. She added: “This happened to me during the flight, I had a passenger to cut his toenails. Do not observe personal hygiene during the flight.
Kat stressed that no passenger should put their feet on the armrest of the chair in front of them.
Kat also shared her tips on how to feel comfortable flying with red eyes. She insists on using an eye mask, earplugs, comfortable clothes, essential oils, a blanket and a pillow to prepare for the long journey.
If the airline that booked the flight offers vouchers to cancel your seat, Kat says you should never accept the first offer. As take-off time approaches, bids will continue to increase.
In another video, Kat, who also has 115,000 followers on Instagram, shares three things every traveler should do when settling into a hotel room, starting with glasses in the bathroom. “If you don’t have a dishwasher in your hotel room, you should never use the glasses,” she explained. “The reason is that you don’t know if they were cleaned properly or just rinsed after the last people who used this hotel room. If you have a cup that is completely sealed, then you know they are good to use. Kat also offers to pack a package of instant oatmeal with you, so you always have a spare breakfast, which you can prepare with boiled water from the kettle in the hotel room.
Kat also came up with a clever way to cover the TV remote to avoid spreading or catching germs. “These remotes see so many hands with how many people are staying in a hotel room and you have no idea if they are disinfected,” she said. “Take an ice pack and put the remote on [inside]. ‘
