Digital Travel Photography - Trip Preparation - Consider Insurance on Flights

SUMMARY: Protect your digital camera equipment from getting lost, stolen, or damaged on flights.

Plan on taking expensive digital camera equipment on long flights, such as high-end digital SLR cameras with a variety of zoom lenses, proprietary batteries, and digital media?

If so, you may want to consider insuring your equipment, especially if you are unable to carry-on your equipment and must check it instead. Digital camera equipment can cost hundreds, or many thousands of dollars, and most airlines will not cover the full cost of lost or damaged equipment. Check with your airline or travel agent for more information so you can decide if this is right for you.
