[QUOTE="Fox Hunter, post: 922954, member: 39861"] I've a question or two for those who have travelled with their firearms or perhaps someone who works for an airline and would have this knowledge. What happens when a checked bag containing a firearm misses a connecting flight? If the case does miss the connection, what does one do? Will the airline treat it like any other bag or will they make a federal case out of it for me to get it back? Later this year I've got a trip planned that requires air travel in the lower 48; from the Northeast to the Northwest. As it turns out, there is no direct flight of any kind. The best flight I could find requires two stops to change planes. One layover is for an hour and 20 minutes or so. I'm confident the baggage transfer will happen here but the other layover is just for a few minutes. I'm not so sure about this one. Since I've never travelled to a hunt by air before, I'm trying to make sure I've dotted all the i's and crossed the t's. The rifle will be in a Pelican case with all the details met as required by the airline and the tsa and all the required declarations will be done at the gate and so on. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
