What's the biggest size cooler you can check on a plane? I think that someone (Russ or Austin maybe) had posted a link before (maybe last year's Gorge thread)...

This guy is right. We used a coleman xtreme 70q purchased from mostly any home goods/sporting goods store.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-70...Cooler/4807332

It holds ice well, has no wheels, and has good handles and a drain port. I bought some luggage straps and ran them under the handles and across the cooler. The TSA has to be able to open and inspect the luggage so they so choose which is why I use luggage straps.

They will make you sign a waiver stating that they take no responsibility for damage to your cooler but it'll get there.
