I came across a very nice fare from Phoenix to Johannesburg via Emirates Airlines. There were a few routes getting to Dubai to choose from. Jet Blue to Boston, Jet Blue to JFK and Alaska Airlines through Seattle. I chose the Seattle route as I know Alaska Airlines is gun friendly, and I hope Seattle is too as I'm sure they ferry many Alaska bound hunters through their airport. I spoke to Alaska Airlines on the phone regarding the transport of firearms and subsequent transfer to Emirates. The lady was actually quite friendly and seemed knowledgeable which was nice for a change. She highly recommended claiming our luggage in Seattle and rechecking with Emirates. This seems to make total sense and is my plan. I was just wondering if anyone else has gone this route or a similar situation in flying to another American airport on another airline and transferring at that point to Emirates. If so, do you concur with this plan? | ||

Hey, I flew to Dar es Salaam in October. From Here at Sky Harbor, its a bit tricky. I flew American to Dallas, had to collect my firearms and walk to the Emirates check in counter, not a big deal. I think I took a bus maybe? I checked in, had the letter of permission and all was good. Dallas, Dubai, wonderful flight in a super comfortable plane. Longish layover in Dubai but the lounge is world class. Its probably 8-9 hours to Joburg from Dubai, as it was 6 and change to Dar. I'm sure you'll have zero problem with your route. Steve I will for sure use Emirates again. Formerly "Nganga" | |||

Thank you Steve. Sounds like the same deal but swapping Seattle for Dallas. | |||

Frostbit did this similar route last year. It was also during 4457 export permit debacle. All went well. Check with him! Best regards, D. Nelson | |||
