Wanted: British Airways Bad enough now even worse.

Some forums said you needed a transfer permit for Germany but I didn't get one and it was fine

I was told not to bother with a form 6A when travelling to the US with a firearm, I ignored that advice and always applied for one, first 3 visits never asked, 4th visit I was checked on arrival, I guess I would of had my Blaser confiscated without it!

You mean with a transit in the US?

The German transit form referenced was a specific German police form I think

 

[devon deer stalker]

Yes, US

Avoid Heathrow .
Fly from another airport with direct flights or fly to a German airport and transfer.
Germany permits firearms in transit

BA - Bloody Awful - that’s what the Captain called his airline and we we delayed 5 hours sitting in the aeroplane whilst 1) BA fought for a slot to takeoff from Heathrow and then since we ariived after midnight into Edinburgh, 2) another 2 1/2 wait whilst the worked out that there 100 people on an aeroplane that actually wanted to get off.

The Captain was so ****ed off at his employer that he gave out the Chief executive’s email address and asked us all to email him whilst we sat and waited.

I went through Heathrow last month with firearms no issues at all. Was Virgin to Johannesburg

I flew same route in November. No problems.

I flew same route in November. No problems.

Mind if I ask what airline? Cheers

 

[zambezi]

what airline?

As per the previous post: Virgin from LHR to JNB.

I have flown that route [or LHR to CPT at times of year when Virgin run that direct service] about once a year. Same predictably good performance.
