Travelling with frozen EBM

[dairymoo]

This may be a ridiculous question but is there any way of taking a quantity (16 lansinoh bags) of frozen EBM on a 9 hour flight? I guess total all in travelling time will actually be more like 12 hours.

I'm guessing I'd need to check it in due to liquid regs but surely it will defrost on the way and need to be used as soon as we get there?

(Ideally want to use it so that DH and I can leave LOs with GPs and go away for a few days about a week after we get there.)

Hi Dairymoo,

I have just been looking into this myself as i need to do the same. Shorter flight but need to use the milk the next day when i am a bridesmaid so might not be avaliable.Will have no access to fridge etc

From what i can find on the internet EBM will keep in a cool box with ice packs for 24 hours. I think that is when the milk is fresh so presumably it would be longer if the milk goes in frozen.

I have no idea about taking it through airport security like this, would love to know the answer if anyone does.
Also would love to know if anyone has kept milk like this themselves and how it was rather than just reading about it.

Its complicated isn't it!

I used to work at an airport during uni. I'm afraid I don't know the answer but would suggest you just ring

1. the airline

1. double check with the office at the airport you're leaving from.

Not too sure about the quantity they let you take through and would check with the airline as I think all airports are different. They make you taste it on the way through security if you're carrying through.
You can put liquid into your luggage but I would be worried about it defrosting as I know I was always told to ebm within 24 hours of taking out of the freezer.
