Ice pack and small collapsable cooler

[ttfn3]

Is it okay to bring one of these on the plane? I'm thinking of packing us a lunch for our plan ride and wanted to use a refreezable ice pack to keep it cool.

Sure, but it will count as a carryon.

We do this all the time for our son who is diabetic and it has not counted as a carryon. Of course, for him food is "medicine" as his pediatric endocrinologist says.

But since food service is so limited on most flights these days, I thought airlines weren't counting food for anyone against the carryon limit. Perhaps that depends on the airline.
