Approximately £685 give or take a few pence for return flights in premium delight class which gives more leg room
Old thread but looking at Africa flights ( too many recent threads on Africa) seems SAA are carrying firearms again ? Looking at BA the Joburg to PE flight is with SAA , some quite reasonable prices for next Jan !

Be aware B.A. will pull your pants down with the charge for firearms and ammo. We are off to Namibia with Ethiopian next month no charge for carrying firearms.

Flew with BA in March, had no issue.
Carriage for firearms was £125 each way, you do not have to pay for ammo

Went to SA in November on BA. Thoroughly unpleasant flights (Premium Economy). Complained and got a load of Air Miles as compensation, but it’s put me off BA so much I don’t see myself using them.
Looking at Namibia next year, so no doubt I’ll be going back through this thread when I start looking for flights.

Used once to go to Zimbabwe, and onto Vic Falls. Bloody hopeless, lost two gun cases at Jo'burgh airport, left them on the runway!! Got both back on the next air Zim flight into Vic Falls, but not impressed. Also misplaced my gun case at the airport on a return flight from Finland, took about 2 hours to find it. Soon changed their minds when I threatened to dial 999 on my mobile and report them as being lost in a major airport by BA.
Using any airline these days to carry firearms, is a nightmare at the best of times, let alone some of the staff at the airport itself.
Seriously considering camp rifle especially as travelling with kids ! But no left hand options available

I’ll probably use a hire rifle but apple airtags will definitely be going on the cases if I take them.
Have heard of folk offering to help with the permits and meet you at the airport. Think there’s an element of queue skip involved as well which might save a lot of hassle. Anyone used them?
