I am writing this from Africa Sky guest house in JoBurg, one of our favorite spots. We are off to Maun in the morning for a plains game hunt with friends who ranch in the area. This is my first African hunting trip not in pursuit of buffalo. I’m going to try to make up for it with a true tracking hunt for eland in the Kalahari.
I really appreciate all the recent posts detailing issues with firearms on DL 200. Thankfully, my cases arrived without issue.
To improve my odds I:
- notified Delta in advance that I was traveling with firearms.
- used TSA locks in all four holes on my pelican case.
- had backup standard locks in the event exception was taken to the TSA locks.
- tracked my luggage on the delta app for confirmation that it was on the plane.
- used Gracy Travel’s VIP service for planeside meet and greet, immigration expediting, and firearms permitting.
No guarantees, but this worked for me. This was the first time for the backup locks, but others experience posted on AH convinced me it was a good idea.
More to come!
