S A Airlines - Firearms

[DEER STALKER]

Hopefully going to South Africa for first time this year. Any issues with taking firearms on South Africa Airlines? flying from Heathrow to Joburg then to East London.

Thanks in advance

One of the best to fly with but make sure that the connecting flight is with them and not a partner airline as only SAA can carry firearms internally. You are allowed one rifle up to 23kg free.

I wouldn’t willingly fly to SA with any other carrier. Always thought they were good and VFM

they are usually hassle free with firearms. I usually book over the telephone and this avoids any problems with the internal transfers.

sometimes SAA code share with mango and I dont know their policy for firearms.

Hassle free even when you turn up at Joburg with no paper work having traveled on an internal with firearms like I did on my return lol. Out again in 12 weeks
