Travel tips for checking firearms for flying
Permalink   
 

I'm flying to FL to deliver my son his clay target shotguns and to deliver a "handgun starter pack". Here is my list of to do's please comment if I missed something

Direct flight to destination
Print out airline regulations from their website and bring it
Arrive 2.5 hour before takeoff
pay $50 for "fast track" luggage check in
weigh and confirm both cases are below 50 lb limit
use TSA approved cases, airline says max 2 shotguns per case and 4 handguns per second case
have TSA approved combo locks
print out model and serial number of all firearms and bring it
tape 4x6 banner with name, address and phone number to each case
attach airtags to outside of both cases in "secure" airtag luggage device, airtags do not work inside of cases
drop a few business cards in gun cases
bring FBI and ATF local numbers at destination in case of funny business
no ammo anywhere

What else? Paranoid answers appreciated, thanks in advance. The shipping costs I got made it cheaper for a round trip ticket.

I’ve flown dozens of times with guns over the decades and you’ve given it way more thought/effort than I ever did. You are good to go.

From my experience, staying chill and acting like it’s no big deal really makes a difference. TSA and airline staff are usually fine as long as you know the rules and stay polite. I’ve flown with firearms a few times, and having everything ready—like the declaration card and printed rules—keeps things running smooth.


When I’ve flown business class for trips like this, the extra baggage allowance and faster check-in lines have been a huge help.
