Air travel and keeping meds cold.

[srw920]

Good morning Everyone - l am preparing for a 6 hour flight to Seattle on Thursday.  My plan is to carry on my meds in the prescription bottles in a six pack cooler.  I place my pro click in a toothbrush holder with smaller ice packs in a cosmetic bag.  Then place that bag in the cooler bag with the larger ice pack that comes with monthly shipping.  I estimate that I have to keep this cold for a minimum of 12 hours.  Preflight 2 hrs, 6 hrs flight, and 2 hrs post flight with a 2 hr cushion. Any ideas?  I also have to carry snacks.  Do you think this will hold?

Thx to both.  I am testing my cooling system today.  I purchased a refridge thermometer, packed the cooler (without meds) and will see what the temp is tonight.  Will get there early and request a visual inspection.  I am hoping it won't be too rainy but I welcome the cooler weather.

I thought flying with the meds was going to be a big ordeal. LAX airport and FT. Smith.  No one said anything. They were too busy to even ask questions. And wanted no explanations. Good luck and have fun in Wa.

We used an insulin cooler available at most drug stores.  Kept things cold, even on a flight to Europe and was small and portable, with a pocket for needles, etc.  Just make sure you have your prescription with you!
