Hostie on TikTok shares hacks for making flying comfortable

A flight attendant has revealed her in-flight hacks for making plane travel more comfortable – but some viewers found the tips to be less than helpful.

TikTok user and flight attendant Kat Kamalani posted a video last week giving three tips to airline passengers.

“If you have ever travelled on an aeroplane, you need these hacks,” Ms Kamalani said at the start of the clip.

One of the handy tips was around how to stay entertained when there was no in-flight entertainment system on the plane.

Her first hack showed how to lift armrests on aisle seats, even though armrests by the aisle don’t have an obvious button to press.

“If you’re sitting in an aisle seat and someone wants to get out, there’s a little button underneath the armrest,” Ms Kamalani said in the clip while showing where the button is. “Press it, lift it up, and swoop your legs over.”

Next, Ms Kamalani explained how to use a command hook to keep kids – or yourself – entertained on a flight if the plane doesn’t have a monitor.

“If you’re travelling with kids, or your aeroplane doesn’t have a monitor system, I always bring a command hook and then just stick it to the back and you can just hang your iPad and watch your own shows,” she said.

Ms Kamalani’s final – and most controversial – hack had to do with aeroplane bathrooms.

“I’m just going to be real with you guys, I hate aeroplane toilet paper,” she said.

“They use the cheapest kind and it disintegrates in two seconds. So I always use the tissues because the tissues are always softer and way better quality, so, use the tissues.”

However, many viewers pointed out that the toilet paper is thin for a reason – to avoid clogging the toilets.

“The toilet paper is like that for a reason,” one TikTok user wrote. “Do not stuff up the line with tissues!”

“You shouldn’t be putting those tissues in the bathroom,” someone else said. “They can easily get stuck.”

Despite some of the critiques, other commenters thanked Ms Kamalani for her “amazing” tips.
