At MediCooler, we understand the importance of flying safely with temperature-sensitive medications. Whether you use a medicine cooler bag or an electric cooler, we give you the best tips for transporting chilled medications on the plane. Read on to learn everything about taking your medications in your hand luggage and using gel packs during air travel.
Always carry medication in your hand luggage
Always carry your medication in a medicine cooler bag or cool box in your hand luggage. This ensures your medication is immediately at hand and prevents problems if your checked baggage gets lost. Furthermore, the temperature in the cargo hold cannot be monitored, which can lead to damage to temperature-sensitive medication. Handy tip : A medicine cooler bag keeps your medication safe at the correct temperature, even during long flights. Check out our medicine cooler bag selection guide for advice on the best options for your specific trip.
Cooler Bags and Gel Packs: What Can I Take on the Plane?
Our medicine cool bags, such as the LifeinaBag12, LifeinaBag24, iCool Vacpack, iCool medicube of iCool Ultra , are designed to be taken on a plane without any problems. The gel packs remain frozen in a solid state, which makes them suitable for security.
