We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Castle Combe in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Castle Combe in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
