Even during the coronavirus pandemic, many flight attendants are still on the go, flying around the country and staying in hotels. Salt Lake City-based flight attendant Kat Kamalani has gone viral for her series of TikTok videos with highly informative hotel and airplane hacks.

Since Kamalani uploaded her original TikTok hotel video—with tips on everything from avoiding bedbugs to staying safe—in August, it has racked up 6.2 million views and 1.4 million likes and the travel-savvy flight attendant has been featured on TV outlets like Good Morning America and Inside Edition. In addition to her 286,000 followers on TikTok, Kamalani has also become an influencer on Instagram, with 50,000 followers, and YouTube, with 33,000 subscribers.

Now—naturally—Kamalani is sharing her insider tips on airlines that we need to know (and can't stop watching). She also has advice on how to get hired as a flight attendant—which is more competitive than getting into Harvard, according to Kamalani—and she reveals things you might not know about a flight attendant's job. (Spoiler alert: They don't get to work on the most glamorous flights to places like Paris and Hawaii right off the bat.)

"I made these videos to help others stay clean and safe and have a more comfortable experience when traveling," says Kamalani. "I was honestly shocked to see in my comment section on hotel tips how much people don't think of germs when staying in a hotel. (I mean, thousands of bodies see those rooms!) So it lead me to making an airplane tips video next."

Kamalani says she plans to continue making videos covering a range of different angles, from travel booking nightmares to the actual experience of traveling (the good, the bag and the ugly).
