EasyJet has reminded passengers travelling during the summer holidays that laptops, e-cigarettes and vaping devices must be carried in hand baggage, while each passenger may take a maximum of two power banks. Power banks must not be used or charged during flights and should be stored where they can be monitored. The airline also warned of longer waits at European airports because of the European Entry/Exit System, advising travellers to check documents, allow extra time for baggage drop and border controls, and use the easyJet app for flight updates.

Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds is portrayed as a storybook-like village that feels more like a bustling town because of its 4,000 residents, roughly 300,000 annual visitors, independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. Its honey-coloured cottages, River Windrush, stone bridges and landscaped riverside setting give it the appearance of a film set, while attractions such as the Cotswold Motoring Museum and The Model Village add to its appeal as a day-trip or weekend destination.
