Summer is just around the corner and what’s not to love about festival season?! However, here’s a sobering reminder of what could happen if you aren’t careful with your bags.

It’s filmed at Benicassim 2013 (sorry its so old!), but the message is still true now and applies for any trip anywhere in the World.

In short: don’t ever leave your bags or personal belongings unattended. Seems simple, right? It is, but then as you’ll see from the experiences of the people in the video there are so many distractions it is easy to drop your guard for a couple of minutes. And that’s all it takes.

Also make sure you have travel insurance. We have a simple guide to help you understand why you need it, how it works and how to use it. Buy your insurance when you start paying for flights. It can cover against delays and cancellation (within reason).
