Traveling with ICON Meals: Tips for nurses and pilots

Published January 08, 2026

For long shifts or travel days, keep meals cold with an insulated bag and an ice pack. ICON Meals stay safe if kept under 40°F until you can refrigerate.

Choose meals that reheat well in a microwave or hot box, such as chicken with rice or pasta bowls. Avoid high-fat sauces that can separate during reheating.

Pack utensils and a microwave-safe plate if you will reheat outside a kitchen. This makes it easy to stay on plan during busy travel schedules.
