I generally fly out of BDL in Hartford, CT and know the drill with firearms from there no problem. This time I am going on SAA via JFK. The last time I flew out of JFK years ago with firearms a cop approached me at the curb and carried my rifle case to the checkin counter. Is that normal procedure today at JFK? I checked the SAA website on firearms procedures and there is little to no real information. Any special concerns or kinks with SAA? Thanks, Ed

Probably Port Authority officers. I traveled through JFK on SAA in April and could not have been treated with more respect. There is an extra step when flying through JFK because of the PA but they were courteous, friendly and efficient. PM me if you would like my phone number to discuss!

Flown out of JFK twice on SAA and Port Authority were fast, efficient and courtesy. Whole process took me and my friends 5 minutes.

I flew SAA from JFK to JHB in July with no issues. Port Authority was friendly and very curious about my rifle calibers and animals that I was going to hunt. I liked the lay flat beds and entertainment sytstem in business class better than those of KLM and Air France. Service was great and the food was good. Luggage and rifles arrived with no problems.
