Flying with Chilled Medications: Essential Tips for Your Medication Cooler Bag
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 that your medication is immediately at hand and prevents problems if your hold luggage gets lost. In addition, the temperature in the hold cannot be controlled, which can lead to damage to temperature-sensitive medication. Helpful tip : A medicine cooler bag keeps your medication safely at the right 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 or iCool Ultra are designed to be taken on the plane without any problems. The gel packs remain frozen in a solid state, which makes them suitable for security. Please note : Are you taking unfrozen gel packs back with you? Then put them in your hold luggage to be on the safe side to prevent them from being confiscated by security, although this rarely happens.
Choose a Cooler Bag for Carefree Travel with Medicines
For carefree travel with cooled medicines we recommend an isothermal cool bag. These are easy to carry and require little maintenance. With a medicine cool bag like the LifeinaBag12 , LifeinaBag24 , iCool Vacpack , iCool medicube or With iCool Ultra you can trust that your medicines will remain properly cooled.
Do you still want to use an electric cool box like the LifeinaBox ? That is also possible, but make sure that the battery remains charged and that there is sufficient air supply. Important : Do not place the LifeinaBox on the ground when it is in the LifeinaTravel bag , to maintain the air supply.
