Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Flying thru London with rifles, how did it go.

London is no problem with guns as long as you are using BA metal all the way or UA and SAA and arriving and departing the same airport (LHR). It's just expensive and other airlines have joined BA with the added expense. If traveling BA, just make sure that you keep the copy of your BA paperwork, as BA uses contract labor at JNB and you will need it if they can't find your gun the their system.

If you have to transfer between Heathrow and Gatwick forget it. And remember no inter-African flights on BA , it's really Comair and they don't carry guns. For those flights you need either SAA or Airlink.

Emirates is great and you fill out the gun paperwork on-line. Easy. The seats in Coach are the same as other carriers, but the FA are much better. Business is excellent, if you can get an A380 flight take it over a B777 if possible.
