Where do I pack camera?
For years my holiday camera has been my iPhone, but this year I’m taking with me an action camera in a case with extras, about the size of a small shoe box. Does it go in my checked-in suitcase, or keep it with me in my hand luggage? It has couple spare batteries with it, if that matters. thank you all in advance

This obviously means that I've had to buy annual travel insurance with a company that do.…

Travel Insurance general question
I like to look at reviews for many things I buy. Were holidaying in Spain for 5 days. Travel Insurance reviews all seem to be either 'great' because the "cost was low", or 'awful' because they wont pay out for claims. Having been ill abroad before , and an Axiety worrier, Im probably spending too much time on this, but…
