Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have a question related to this - I've bought some yeast here in the US, that I'll take back to the UK. Should I use an icepack that's been frozen or just that's been in the refrigerator?
Just to be safe, wrap the frozen cold pack in a paper towel. It will be fine. You might put it in the checked baggage too, I suspect it will be cooler there than in the cabin.

I just want to be sure that the vials make it with some viability.

You said vials, so White Labs?Wyeast propagators should be small enough to take on the plane, but either way I'd put it in the hold. And I'd put it in some kind of ziploc bag just in case It probably won't be an issue since they are shipped all of the time, but you never know.
