US Airways How do you fly with a firearm?

Answer 1

Both the US Airways website, and the TSA website has information on traveling with firearms. Briefly, everyday passengers MAY transport an UNLOADED firearm in their CHECKED baggage. The firearm will need to be in a lockable, hard sided case. When you approach the ticket counter, advise the agent that you wish to declare an unloaded firearm in your checked baggage. DO NOT say "I have a gun." The clerk will ask you to show that the weapon is empty, and have you sign a declaration form. The case is then locked, and the firearm checked through to your destination. Please see the websites for more information on ammunition, etc. DO NOT attempt to carry a firearm or ammunition through the security screening point.
