At MediCooler, we understand how important it is to fly safely with temperature-sensitive medication. Whether you use a medication cooling bag or an electric cool box, we give you the best tips for carrying refrigerated medication on a plane. Read on to find out everything about taking your medication in your hand luggage and using gel packs when flying.

Always Take Medication in Your Hand Luggage

Always take your medication in a medication cooling bag or cool box in your hand luggage. This keeps your medication close at hand and avoids problems if your checked luggage goes missing. In addition, the temperature in the hold cannot be controlled, which can damage temperature-sensitive medication. Handy tip: A medication cooling bag keeps your medication safely at the right temperature, even on long flights. Take a look at our buying guide for medication cooling bags for advice on the best options for your specific trip.

Cooling Bags and Gel Packs: What Can You Take on a Plane?

Our medication cooling bags, such as the LifeinaBag12, LifeinaBag24, iCool Vacpack, iCool medicube or iCool Ultra , are designed to be taken on a plane without any problems. The gel packs stay frozen in a solid state, which makes them suitable for security checks. Please note: Are you bringing your gel packs back unfrozen? Then put them in your checked luggage to be on the safe side, to prevent them from being confiscated at security, although this rarely happens.

Choose a Cooling Bag for Worry-Free Travel with Medication

For worry-free travel with refrigerated medication, we recommend an insulated cooling bag. These are easy to carry and require hardly any maintenance. With a medication cooling bag such as the  LifeinaBag12, LifeinaBag24, iCool Vacpack, iCool medicube or iCool Ultra, you can rely on your medication staying properly cool.

Would you rather use an electric cool box such as the LifeinaBox? That is also possible, but make sure the battery stays charged and that there is sufficient air supply. Important: Do not put the LifeinaBox on the floor when it is in the LifeinaTravel bag, so that the air supply is maintained.
