How do you travel with refrigerated food?

If the food you're traveling with needs to stay at refrigerator temperatures, pack it in a cooler that can be counted as checked luggage. For longer flights, or times when you suspect there may be delays, consider freezing the item you're flying with, especially if it's a meat, casserole, or soup.
