Hotel room security is something we all worry about when we travel, more so if you’re a woman travelling alone.
“I check under the beds and I also check behind the curtains. I then open up the wardrobe and make sure nobody is hiding inside, and then into the bathroom and I check behind the shower curtain,” said the cabin crew. “The security sweep of a hotel room isn’t a standard operating procedure but our crew are taught and encouraged to do one as a precaution. This is standard practice across the airline industry. The safety of our crew and pilots is paramount, so we have teams that are sent to vet all hotels before any Air New Zealanders stay there as part of their duty travel,” said Vincent.
