Flight attendant shares £2 hack for keeping clothes fresh whilst travelling

A cabin crew member who works for Dutch company KLM Airlines has shared a handful of helpful travel tips she's picked up during her job where she jets off around the world.

Travelling can be a stressful experience if you aren't prepared, so it's vital to take the steps needed to make your journey a smooth one.

This often involves making sure all your clothes are looked out and packed neatly in your suitcase. But if your flight is a long-haul one, you might find that when you reach your destination, they aren't as fresh and clean-smelling as they should be.

Thankfully there's a quick way around this, and it costs only £2 to do.

The hack was shared on KLM's TikTok by a flight attendant who named her top five hacks for travelling, putting her expertise to good use and letting others know how they can level-up their travel experiences.

And the video has proven to be very popular already, with over 17,000 views and counting.

In the clip, the cabin attendant explains how flyers can keep their clothes fresh even when they're packed away in a suitcase.

The video shows a bag being packed with clothing items as normal - but in between each layer, a tumble dryer sheet is placed.

Captions across the screen read: "Putting a dryer sheet between each layer of clothing keeps them fresh!"

Dryer sheets often come in a variety of pleasant scents, so it makes sense that clothes would retain their freshness when kept alongside them.

A box of the sheets can be purchased from Asda for £2, Tesco for £2.10 or Sainsbury's for £3, making it a perfect budget-friendly hack.

Another tip in the video was about how to make clothes wrinkle-free again if you arrive in the hotel room and there isn't an iron.

All you need to do it hang them over the towel rail in the bathroom when you have a shower and let the steam do its work, as it'll smooth out the clothes and keep them looking presentable.

The cabin attendant also recommended adding a colourful belt to your luggage so you can easily identify which one is yours on the conveyer belt, and adjusting your sleep schedule to avoid jetlag.

In the comments, people were full of praise for these hacks, with many eager to try them out the next time they went on holiday.

One person said: "Once again I have to comment again, great content by amazing people."

Another wrote: "Who is the best airline? You!"
