Traveling can be a hassle, but it's the little conveniences that can make a world of difference, especially when you're flying. TV personality Grant Denyer, a man who's no stranger to the skies, recently shared a 'plane hack' that's so simple yet so revolutionary, it's bound to change the way we all handle a common in-flight annoyance.

Grant Denyer, known for his vibrant presence on Australian television, has been a seasoned traveller due to his work commitments. However, it was on a recent trip that he stumbled upon a feature in airplane lavatories that many of us might have overlooked.

While on a flight, Denyer discovered a more hygienic way to dispose of paper towels in the plane's toilet. Like many of us, the thought of touching the flap of the bin where countless hands have been before is less than appealing. But lo and behold, there's a foot pedal ingeniously designed for this very purpose!

In an age where we're more conscious about germs than ever before, this revelation is nothing short of a game-changer. Denyer excitedly took to Instagram Stories to share his discovery. With a video zooming in on his white-socked foot pressing down on the pedal, he expressed his amazement, 'Surely I’m not the only person who just learnt about this.'

The pedal, conveniently located right under the toilet roll near the floor, allows passengers to open the bin flap without having to touch it with their hands. Denyer's video panned across to show the flap opening, enabling towels to be dropped in effortlessly.

'The bin is always full for me and I hate touching the bin,' Denyer wrote, voicing a sentiment many of us share. He then asked his followers, 'Did you know about it?' before showing the pedal's location again for good measure.

This 'plane hack' came as a lightbulb moment for Denyer, who was returning from a delightful family trip to Fiji. The Denyer family's vacation seemed to be filled with beautiful moments, as evidenced by a picture Grant posted on Sunday. The photo showed the family on a Fijian beach, with the caption, 'A snorkel before breakfast. Beautiful sand. Beautiful sun. Just a glorious moment in time that I’m trying to soak up.'

His followers were quick to share in his joy, with comments like 'Enjoy the beautiful time,' and 'Fiji, best place to be, we go every year!' It's clear that Denyer's fans not only appreciate his travel tips but also his zest for life and family.

I always look for pedals especially to flush the toilet. Don't see them very often now.
