A frequent flyer has shared a tip for anyone who is planning on travelling alone.
There is a household item that can be bought for as little as £1 that can keep you safe in your hotel room.
A rubber doorstop will stop unwanted intruders from breaking and entering, because even the strongest intruder would struggle to break through a door with a doorstop wedged from the other side.
David Klain, a frequent traveller and aviator revealed that he never goes on holiday without one in his luggage.
Speaking on Quora, he said: “When staying in a hotel, you can put that door stop under the door preventing someone from breaking in, [because] the chain on the door will stop no one.
“In the case of a terrorist attack or lone gunman incident, typically they will go through all rooms.
“But, if they can't get the door open [they will] move on to other rooms before working their way back to the doors that wouldn't open.
“This buys you time for you to get away and police to respond.”
