  BA WiFi

• Safety

  Mind the snatchers

  UK travel advice warns that thieves can snatch a mobile phone while you're using it on the street, and some grab bags from motorbikes. Step into a shop or café to check your map or order a ride, rather than doing it at the kerb.

• Getting around

  Crossing the Andes

  Heading into Chile or Bolivia by road? Canada's travel advice notes that border posts with both close regularly in winter and that crossings can also close after earthquakes. The government's border crossings page shows each crossing's location and status, filterable by province or neighbouring country, so check before you set off.

  107Ambulance
  100Fire
