I will tell you that frozen meat will not likely stay frozen for 20 hours in a cooler unless you put some dry ice in with it. We have taken to driving down to hunt because extra baggage now costs more than the meat is worth. At $150 per 70 pound bag it just doesn't makes sense to bring meat back by plane. When you add that to the fees for gun cases, and all the rest the cost of air travel to hunt has really jumped that last few years.

We use a small freezer in the back of the truck with a canopy on it. Plug it into the motel at night and it will stay frozen during the day unless it is really hot out. An inverter in the truck for use while running would solve that but to date never had a problem not using one.
I’m”pretty sure” you can’t use dry ice in a plane...something to check on though.
You could keep it on dry ice and dump the ice at the airport I guess.
