Where do I claim travel/eating expenses for a convention?

My wife had to fly for a convention. I understand where to put the convention costs but where do I put the travel costs (flight/meals) associated with the convention? Under "Business travel expenses" or merge them with the convention cost in "Other Expenses"?

Assuming you are referring to self-employment expenses for a convention that she attended; you would use the T2125 - Statement of Business/Professional Activities - Part 4 - Expenses.

Put the flight costs on line 9200

Put the cost of the meals on amount x 50% that applies to line 8523

And convention costs under other expenses line 9270

Keep your receipts for future reference if the CRA requests for them.
