Anyone flown BA with rifles and supressors lately? It’s one of the flights being recommended to me.
I flew them from JNB to London in June this year with my rifles no suppressor. They just were extra cautious with more paperwork and when I was at the gate a ground crew member called for me to confirm in a whisper that it was my two rifles in their holdAnyone flown BA with rifles and supressors lately?

Yeah that’s the thing is their business class pricing is great and my wife really wants to fly business and they are the only ones I can afford lol.I just flew British Airways September 6 of this year. Toronto to London, London to Johannesburg. I made sure it was a BA plane flying each leg, and also followed their regulations closely. Registered a firearm at time of purchase, then again 72 hours before boarding. I picked up my buddy in London with his rifle. He had a suppressor on his rifle, no problem.
The downside was a $230 "Firearm Handling Fee" ($165 US) paid in Toronto, then again paid on the way home in Johannesburg.
Also, they want your ammo to fly in an ammo case, separate from the rest of your luggage, not in it, as other airlines do. No extra charge for the ammo case though.
They had a killer deal on Business Class that I just couldn't ignore. Even with the extra firearm fees, it was way below the going rate for business with any other airline at the time.
I believe they charge an extra 125 pounds per flight to handle your firearms for some destinations.Anyone flown BA with rifles and supressors lately? It’s one of the flights being recommended to me.
