I am concerned about theft/damage. What is the limit on luggage claims for BA? Isn't it about £1k? That wouldn't cover my laptop, and if I have to check that, I may as well check the rest of my stuff, so I'm guessing I'd be well over that.

I also wonder how many insurance policies cover something like that in checked baggage. I know my current policy doesn't
BA's liability per bag is set out in the Montreal Convention to 1131 XDR (Special Drawing Rights), which is £1208 at the current exchange rate. Subject, of course, to the normal negotiations with BA around wear & tear, age of lost belongings, proof of purchase etc.
