Flying cross country with breastmilk

Anonymous
I will be flying back from California and need to transport a combination of frozen and refrigerated breastmilk. (I can't use milk stork or milkify because we are flying on Sunday so it won't work with Fedex). I was hoping to be able to put the frozen bags and refrigerated milk (in bottles?) in one thing, with ice packs. Would something like this work: https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Zone-Freeze-Zipperless-Cooler/dp/B01ALB94JU/ref=sr_1_5?crid=SC0T4IBXUJZR&keywords=titan+deep+freeze+cooler&qid=1695319510&sprefix=titan+dee%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-5

Yes - any cooler will work. Give yourself extra time for security because I've had them test every packet of non-frozen breastmilk. If you can try to get as much of it frozen solid

If staying in a hotel I've put it in labeled zip lock bags and had them deep freeze it in the kitchen. If you do this, do not have them store it in your cooler in the kitchen because the cooler insulates from the outer temperature and won't get cold enough. I just label zip locks with my name and room number and sent it down once a day. Depending on the strength of your mini fridge you may be able to crank it up to the coldest setting and freeze it there as well.
