Flights to Gloucester, Massachusetts from NT$5,867

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gloucester could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover just in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Gloucester, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
