This may be a dumb question, sorry. If flying SAA from JFK to JHB, passing through to another country while still on SAA, do you have to do SAPS paperwork? I'm assuming I could check guns straight through to final destination country (Botswana). Right? | ||

I'm doing the same thing for a trip with Kananna in May. You can check your bags straight through to your destination without going through SAPS in Joberg. Did this last year on a flight to Kasane in Botswana. Tom Z NRA Life Member | |||

Went New Mexico, JFK, JoBerg, Beira, Moz and back last year, no overnight. Checked bags from Home to Moz, then Moz to Home. Absolutely no problems, no SAPS, simply passed through JoBerg as "in transit" both directions. Will do the exact same thing this August. Anything you can do to avoid overnight in JoBerg is a good thing in my opinion. Larry Sellers SCI(International)Life Member Sabatti 'trash' Double Shooter R8 Baser DRSS | |||

For those of you who do not do the SAPS permits, what happens if your flights are delayed, cancelled, etc and you and/or your guns are hung up in JB ? | |||

SAPS will hold your items in their secure area until your flight leaves. | |||

Larry, you won't have a problem now. When bringing your new Blaser, they'll figure you must know what you're doing :-) | |||

I check my guns through as well in order to not deal with SAPS. However, I've had my flight cancel previously, necessitating an overnight stay at the City Lodge. Because of that, I'm always prepared with the SAPS documents, including whatever peripheral docs are required, just in case a temp permit is required. Absolutely no problems doing it either way. | |||

Because they won't recognize it as an actual firearm.  ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

Thanks guys!!!  Didn't realize some of the "other" advantages of owning a Blaser, much obliged. Maybe I'll just tuck it into my carryon bag? I'll tell TSA that you guys said it was OK.Hey Jerry, are you taking your "new" shoes along? Larry Sellers SCI(International) Life Member Sabatti 'trash' Double Shooter R8 Blaser DRSS | |||

I never knew you need firearm permit for sweater. " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.
