Flying Delta

[Killo]

Hi
I’m Flying delta from San Antonio to Atlanta connecting to Johannesburg the 13th of July.
It’s my first time traveling with guns to Africa, final destination Niassa Moz

Do I have to notify the airline with anticipation that I’m traveling with firearms?

Thank You

Not on delta you don’t. You can show up and check in and declare the firearm at that time. It’s a fairly simple process.

Now the connecting flight from joberg to Niassa will depend on the airline you’re flying with but most likely the answer there is yes, they need to be notified. I’m not sure who all flies there but Are you flying on Airlink? They require advanced noticed, at least 72 hours notice that you are flying with firearms.

I would really use a service to make sure all your paper work is in order and that all airline requirements are set up and met.

Flying with guns and 3 countries being involved.It’s a tiny fee, especially when compared to your amazing hunt in Niassa that you are embarking on.

Can’t wait to hear about the hunt.

Doing it yourself, it is very difficult to get ahold of Airlink. I was able to contact an agent of theirs in the NYC area and she said she would take care of it. Took two more tries. I could not find the name or number for you.

be polite and ask them for permission for them to carry your rifles so you get an email back stating it is ok. (just to be safe) do not forget your ammo flies separate and 5 kilos max. have a great trip
