Looks like United charges a $150 fee for having dry ice. Contrary to the older threads, wet ice is not allowed, so gel ice packs will probably be your best bet.
+1. Use the gel ice packs or the cooler packs, not bags of ice. Best to use Styrofoam cooler/shipper box to transport the fish. Because it's a box, they might need you to sign a waiver for damages.
