I've had several trips over and have always been told sporting equipment does not have the same size limits as other checked bags. While I have not confirmed this, I have never been questioned or charged for an oversized gun case. _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

My double rifle case is slightly larger than yours (SKB) and have not been charged for oversized on any flights in Delta, Emirates, Qatar, American or United. I bet you won’t have any issues. Karl Evans | |||

did some more checking on Delta web site and the rifle case is concidered sporting goods so the size limit goes from 60 linear inches to 115 inches so no over size charge, did not recheck United because from where I will be leaving from United makes no sence because of the number of cities and airline transfers involved thanks for the answers.
