So I have a Yeti Tundra 65 that I have taken before, but I would like to have more internal space to bring back more frozen meat, so looking at cheaper coolers that don't have such thick walls. Right now I am in between the Coleman Coastal Extreme 70 qt and Coastal Extreme 120 qt. The 120 will be over the airlines 62" (l + w + h) rule right off the bat, and coming back, either one will be over the 70 lb rule, so I am prepared to pay the fees. As long as it is under 100# they will take it. There will be a processor that I can pay to ship whatever I don't bring back myself, but it will be cheaper for me to pay excess baggage fees than to pay him for overnight shipping.
Any other specific recommendations of a make/model cooler that will be checked as baggage? Not interested in carrying on a soft case. I will be using this as my suitcase on the way out, and will put an empty duffel in it, to bring back clothes on the way back.
I guess a secondary question would be could I even get the 70 qt to weigh just under 100#. No point in getting the 120 qt if I can....
Thanks for any advice
