Sadly, that's not the policy at the check in desk. I was a pretty unhappy (non-travelling) customer last night and they wouldn't budge. If you carry the gun in your main suitcase, then you could avoid the £65 charge each way and would only have £50 to pay, but if you are limited to one case as in the ticket you've got (ie not Business Class), and you bring an extra gun case, you pay £65 for the extra case and £50 for the 'handling partner'.
Thanks. Will let you know how my conversation with BA goes. It's been years since I carried a firearm so I've no recent experience myself. But the check in desks at T5 were totally and absolutely clear that it was £65 followed by £50. And several of them all agreed. :fie:
I agree with Matt. I use BA for any long haul flights and only ever been charged £50 'each flight leg'...so if you change planes once it is £50 + £50 each way.
Roller flat it seems. I suspect there are other places with more contours that will be used. Reports will soon tell us..
just spoke again and BA are correct im afraid,after being cut off by someone who clearly hadn't a clue,one peice of luggage 23kg to check in, one piece of hand luggage also 23kg, anything extra you will be charged!
I very much doubt it, it's a desert. If you look closely at some of the pics you can see cherry pickers in the distance. It's the shoots first year, there will probably be things they don't get quite right, like anything else new, hopefully those will be minimal, the organisers are happy and it carries on for years to come...becoming a regular 'start of season' fixture, if it does, with the backing it's got, I'm sure it will be a huge success!!!
Well in that case can't you take your gun on the plane as hand luggage?? :spiteful:
