[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2688138, member: 527103"] Whilst I agree to keep insulin in your hand luggage, this is no longer because it will freeze in the hold - I think the hold did not used to be pressurised and could get cold. Given animals are frequently transported in the hold, this is not the case. The reason nowadays for keeping insulin with you in your hand luggage when travelling is because checked in luggage can go missing or be delayed. I also notice you mention ready-filled pens. Have you asked about reusable pens? These are far better - more robust, if you are using NovoNordisk insulin (NovoRapid, Levemir, Fiasp, Tresiba), you can get smart pens which remind you when you last took insulin, cartridges take up less space in your fridge and you produce far less waste.
