Frozen milk in luggage ?

Milk deteriorates faster when thawed than fresh, an udder option is to take a cow with you instead.

If we are going on hoilday on the ferry (never have done this on plane) i have taken long life milk to last the first few days. Would your wife/children drink long life milk. you can get this abroad.

Hi, we are flying off on holiday and my wife wants to take milk with her as she and the kids just won't use milk when we are abroad.

She is going to freeze it and put it in our luggage, I don't think it is a good idea as I think it is quite likely to burst with the low pressure in the hold, does anyone here have any idea's if it will or has anyone tried doing this ?

Quality........... I would give her a slap

On a practical note, the holds of modern aircraft are pressurised the same as the cabin.

I watched Airline last night (a repeat on some repeat channel) and in the episode they were transporting a lioness. The pilot said that he has to remember what cargo is in the hold to know if to heat it or not. He said that one time he forgot and a tank full of tropical fish froze! I know it's not the same as being pressurised but if the hold was heated then the frozen milk might defrost and go bad, although the chance of that on a short flight would be slim.

You deserve a medal for your patience mate personally I wouldnt even get on the plane with someone who is afraid of foreign milk.

I think you are being a little unfair.

Top of the list of the things that I miss most when travelling is pasteurised homogenized semi skimmed milk and whilst I could not be rrrsed with packing any in my case, I can fully understand why someone would wish to.

I agree - cows are cows, so milk is milk.

If milk were simply milk, then we would not have pasteurised milk, homogenized milk, UHT milk, filtered milk, sterilised milk, full fat milk, skimmed milk, semi skimmed milk and no doubt any number of milks that don't come to mind.

Bull's milk!

Oh, no... that's what my dad used to call the tall bottled sterilised with the metal cap!

i take the long life carton with me when I go to Hong Kong... for my daily cuppa and also I take my own tea bags.. In Hong Kong the fresh milk u get is not the same as the ones we have in England...it just tastes different so long life it is...even though it taste different , its better than the milk u get in HK

I always take a tetra pak carton of uht milk abroad in my suitcase to make my own cuppa when I go abroad! It's a most welcome drink too... as long as I remember to pack my own cup, teaspoon and sugar! *and teatowel*
