Trip to Stansted Airport

There's no safety net even if (for example) your phone is lost or destroyed. While I realise the same is true of paper tickets, they are probably harder to lose. That's a matter of debate methinks. I either collect my paper tickets on the day, or in advance and keep them in a safe place at home. Keeping my phone charged up - especially at the end of a long day in London, is an issue. As is for some people not dropping them (my son has smashed two in the last year). All I was saying that similar mishaps can befall paper tickets and they are smaller and easier to mislay inadvertently. So both methods are subject to risks that can be guarded against. I carry an external battery pack precisely to ensure my phone keeps working all day. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

Which itself also needs to be charged up, not mislaid and remembered! I carry such a pack, but when I tried to use it recently, it was flat, despite having just been recharged. It turns out that it will no longer hold a charge, and is basically now junk. So you can add another step to your checklist: occasionally check that the pack still works! |

The battery in mine lasts a minimum of a week with use, probably two or more on standby though I've never tested it. -- Spud |
