Can you pour ice directly into this brand?
Yes, you can pour ice directly into this cooler. Only issue is, at the end of the day, part of the ice that melted into water will leak out of the top-side zipper, if it's turned on its side. It won't leak if kept upright.

I've gone to using 2 - quart size zip-lock bags with ice and I don't have to tell the hotel driver not to put the bag on its side. This seems to be working well.

I use Amazon.com: Mabis Dmi Healthcare Ice Bags - Large, 11 Inch, Blue, One: Health & Personal Care

It holds a ton of ice, fills quickly, and the water stays frozen for a surprisingly long time. It's never leaked a drop, and doesn't even 'sweat.' Being able to refill at hotel ice machines is key for me. This is the model I've used, and it's been bulletproof.

Not trying to threadjack. I have been flying 135 for five years after a brief stint with 121 regionals. Getting back into 121 shortly. Does the TSA give commuting pilots in uniform any crap about liquids more than 4 oz. in the cooler when you pack your lunch? Thank you.

Ask your airline, you will get security training as part of the program, and that is the person to ask, not a public BBS.
