    If you get both the copy and the original stolen, you have readily accessible details when you get home - or for someone to relay to you.

    Doesn't really matter either way, you're travelling on domestic flights and hold a valid passport.

    If you're travelling either within the EEA / Switzerland or to the US, your UK passports need to be valid for the duration of your stay only.
