Firearms/Ammunition as Checked Baggage
All firearms must be unloaded and packed in a hardsided, locked container
specifically designed for travel on an airplane. Handguns or small firearms
without a hardcase may only be checked if in a hardsided suitcase.
Luggage must be locked with a key or lock combination that is in the possession
of the passenger.
Firearms and ammunition may be contained in the same bag provided the
ammunition is packaged either in the original carton or a container specifically
designed to protect the ammunition against shock and secure it against
movement.
Passengers are required to provide advanced notice of intention to
carry ammunition as checked baggage. The maximum gross weight of the ammunition
and the container must not exceed 11 pounds per passenger. Each passenger
is to check his own allowance.
TWA will not interline firearms or ammunition. If travel plans require
travel on another air carrier, you must claim your firearm and ammunition
before transferring to the next air carrier.
