Flying Lufthansa w/ ammo
I've tried searching Lufthansa's site but have no luck w/ regulations for ammunition transport. Anyine travel this year w/ them & what did you do; ammo in checked bag or ammo in guncase? TSA doesn't care.
thanks

i flew lufthansa last year and was told the ammo had to go into a separate checked bag, that there would be a $50 fee for the guncase.

no one even opened the guncase, checked the ammo for weight or caliber and did not charge me the fee. this was in houston.

i would still suggest a separate bag for the ammo as it seems to ease everyone/s mind for some reason. good luck

I flew Lufthansa from Houston in July. Was told they might charge for gun case. They did not. I had ammo in locked metal box in my duffel bag. I told the person at check-in that I had a firearm in the long case and the ammo was in the duffel bag. She put a "special handling tag" on both the rifle case and the duffel. She never looked at either one of them. I had to take the rifle case to a different counter for TSA inspection. In Windhoek both the case and the duffel were delivered to the Police office in the airport since both had the "special handling tag".

Thanks guys. I am flying direct to Frankfurt from LA then transfer to AirNamibia. With luck, everything will make the transfer w/o incident.
