Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Bourton-on-the-Water could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It’s simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Bourton-on-the-Water easy and painless. We’ve compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
