Flight attendants are known for their clever hacks for passengers, with one recommending two other items that people should always pack in their bags.

In  on Tiktok one flight attendant called Cici, , revealed the two products she gets from hardware shops whenever she travels.

The first of the two items were disposable shoe covers, which she uses not only to keep her footwear clean, but also her feet too.

She explained: "When you're going through airport security, just slip your shoes off, put these on, and walk through the security scanner germ free."

The second hardware shop item Cici always takes away with her is a bungee cord.

She said: "You can hook the cord through the handle of your suitcase and attach your carry on. You can just hook it right on there."
