A savvy flight attendant has shared her top tips for keeping clothes looking fresh while jet-setting across the globe. The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crew member was now a pro at maintaining a wrinkle-free wardrobe after cramming essentials into a suitcase.

She released a viral video that has racked up more than 4,700 demonstrating how to smooth out clothes when there's not an iron in sight. She said: "Need to press your clothes without an iron?

Demonstrating how to get the job done, she hung the item of clothing on the heated towel rail, turned on the shower and said: "The steam from your hot shower makes de-wrinkling quick and easy." The stewardess also advised people to put "a dryer sheet between each layer of clothing" in their suitcase when packing to keep them "fresh".

With her fair share of long-haul flights behind her, the regular flier also told TikTok followers how she avoids jetlag. Her advice was to "adjust your sleep schedule" and setting an alarm for the local time.

Another travel hack was to use a colourful belt to easily identify your bag, the Daily Star reports. A clip shows her secure a rainbow-coloured belt around her suitcase, so it stood out on the conveyor belt amongst similar-looking luggage.
