Always put one shoe in the safe

The FT [Mod Edit: Financial Times] published a a quite light piece which sees various famous people (including Marie Kondo and Anthony Scaramucci) give out tips on how to pack for/during a business trip.

I was skimming through it while sipping on my coffee this morning, and thought that the “pro tip” to put one shoe in the hotel safe to make sure you don’t forget your belongings in the morning is both potentially quite clever and somewhat unhygienic (unless the shoe is wrapped in a plastic bag).

Turns out this specific advice was shared by Sean Doyle who got it from BA cabin crew. I thought I’d share as I’m sure the FT [Mod Edit: FlyerTalk] community will benefit from these insights into BA’s CEO’s travel guidance!
