I once read a piece from an expert and one which stuck was to memorise the escape route. Once a corridor or room is filled with smoke you may have no clue as to how to get out.
This works in a block of flats but is especially relevant if you are in a hotel that you won't be familiar with. So the idea is to get to your room/flat, then memorise that to get out the fire exit is out the door then say 4 doors to the right and in and down. Maybe have a little look when you leave the room. That way even blind with smoke you could feel your way, fourth door = exit. I don't always do it but if I remember to I do.

Some big hotels are a rabbit warren, I'd dread trying to find an exit, blind with smoke :(
You'd hope once on steps you can just follow them, the hard bit would be finding the steps.

I'd hate to be in the toilet at a wetherspoons pub if it caught fire.
If you don't know the pub.... you usually need a compass to find yer way back from the carsey

You know I've some masks for DIY doing nothing, I might pop one in my little travel stuff bag just in case. It's not heavy.
If I wear it, people will just think I'm a chinese tourist

Some big hotels are a rabbit warren,
Even worse is a North Sea Ferry, mind boggling even when sober.

Always do it on a plane, I leave my seat and count the rows between my seat and the exits. If smoke or some other emergency occurs at least you know you can get there quickly.
