If you are considering traveling with your drone....
Good Adorama video about traveling with a drone.....with one exception. They show footage of using a drone out of their hotel window. Don Not, I repeat, Do Not do this!!!! You're just asking to lose your drone through an accident or confiscation AND you may be facing a significant fine by the local authorities!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tobsHNuZ7b0Good link. Thanks for posting. I'll have to definitely agree on extra batteries and props. I only have two batteries for my Phantom 3A but I carry a power inverter in my truck so I can be charging one battery while flying on the other. It's slower the the factory AC charger but comes in handy when no AC is available. I also have four sets of props. Some have minor scuffs along the edges and grass stains from not so perfect landings but are still usable. One thing I'm surprised he didn't discuss was flying on a cruise ship. I read an article about this recently and it comes down to being a bad idea. Cruise ship decks normally stay pretty crowded. When in port and flying from land it wouldn't be a problem but actually flying from a deck is asking for trouble. And if the ship is moving forget it. Winds are going to be unpredictable and takeoff and landing is risky to other passengers and your drone. Not to mention your RTH point is in the water way behind the ship. Good way to spoil a vacation.
