Flight attendants swear by this £8 item that keeps you safe in hotel rooms | The Sun

FLIGHT attendants swear by a £9 item that keeps them extra safe when staying in hotels.

Cabin crew members have shared videos online revealing their hotel safety techniques, with some having scary experiences while away with work.

And there's one item that regularly appears in their footage that gives them extra peace of mind when trying to get to sleep.

The Xhwykzz Portable Door Lock prevents people from getting into their room – something which can happen in hotels.

It denies access to people, even if they have the key or key card that they need to get in.

The lock is easy to install, requiring no tools, but does provide an extra barrier between guests and the rest of the hotel.

"No problem my end with fitting and fits all the doors I've tried so far and reckon this would be the case for most UK doors.

"A must have for all backpack travellers and those who require a bit of extra security/privacy without the hassle of fitting a permanent lock."

The lock is available on Amazon in two different colours from £7.99.

A similar device was seen in a recent video by flight attendant and Tiktoker lifestyledbyerie who used a portable lock as part of her hotel safety routine.

First, Erie is seen propping the door open with her suitcase, so that she can get out quickly if she needs to.

She then checks cupboards and under the bed to make sure no one is waiting for her in her room.

The flight attendant then retrieves her luggage and locks the door using the lock.

While closing the door, a caption reads: "Safety always comes first.

"I have had people attempt to break into my room on layovers so I always travel with this."
