I'm traveling through Amsterdam with my bow, no field points or broadheads, spoke with the consulate in Washington they said no problem since I was just using the airport as a transition point to SA. Just to be clear I'm still nervous about this trip, I don't want to lose over a $1000.00 in archery equipment.

I was not charged any extra fees for my gun case with KLM. The baggage allowance was 2 (two) checked pieces of baggage, and one carry on. I made sure to register with them at the time of purchase the fact that I would be bringing a rifle and hard case with me. No problem. I was flying with them for the entire journey though (Toronto - Amsterdam - Windhoek) so that may be why there was no extra charge. Price was good too.

I'm leaving for Tanzania in two days. Just today received my permit to fly through Amsterdam with firearms. Whew! I used Jennifer at Express Travel and she was fantastic helping me get this permit in possession. Upon my return, I'll do another post. All is right in my world today!

Been there I tried getting the permit myself but after 8 weeks of BS I finally called Travel Express and Lori jumped right on it,

Hi EGS
I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
