On the way to Auckland
I'm sitting at LAX waiting to board NZ5 for Aukland. TSA just pulled boxes of bullets and brass out of my bag for inspection. They put them back in so I guess I'm good to go.

Sorry to miss you too, Hendrick. I'll be back the first week of March but it's a fly in Wednesday and fly back out Thursday night. I think that I spend more time on airplanes now then in country.

Frank lucky you purchased your flights prior to 20th November 2012 as Air New Zealand introduced higher excess baggage fees and now charges a firearms handling fee.

This is what a NZ hunter has been told by Air NZ for his trip to Canada

[Quote:]
I am going through this very thing right now and here is the guts of what i've got in an email from Air NZ for a trip to Canada;

1) you cannot prepay for extra baggage if it is a firearm
2) there is a standard $200 per firearm handling fee IN ADDITION to the baggage fee of $200. [/quote]
