Thread: Ammo in checked luggage- domestic flights

Update after Jetstar flight:

Firearm. They checked the case was locked and checked my FAL. Then they wrapped caution yellow tape around both ends of the rifle hard case. That was it.

Ammo. They asked to see my form declaration and acceptance that I pre filled out and printed. They asked how much I had, was it over 5 kilos and was it individually packed in original box. It was and I told them it was in my check in bag. They didn’t want to view it but asked again if it was under 5 kg (I only had 20 rounds). That was it.

They then checked in my bag and walked me over to over sized baggage area and sent my hard case to baggage.

When I collected everything an airline staff came over eventually with my rifle/hard case. Said they didn’t really know what to do with it. I suggested they look at my FAK which they did and handed it over to me.

It was a pretty seamless journey but I got the feeling staff weren’t all over the rules.

Anyway just an update FYI.
