One of the best things to come along for traveling hunters in my opinion is the Airline Apps baggage tracking feature. Knowing your gun case was scanned onto the plane is a great reassurance that as you kick back for that first movie and adult beverage all is well with your bags! Just make sure you make note of the tag number for the suitcase versus the gun case so you will know which is which.
The first experience I had with this feature was with Delta. They have a great system and others have followed suit. Finally American has a similar feature after years of junk features that didn’t work.
The problem I have is switching airlines and then the app may not work correctly. For instance on my last Safari I had AA on the first two flights then on to Delta. The AA numbers won’t go in the Delta system.
I wonder if some of you can share your experiences in this regard? What airlines have you used the baggage tracking features and how well did it work for you?
Regards,
Philip

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
