Thread: Flying with Firearms with Qatar Airways

I know you’re not travelling with Air New Zealand, but you may want to check if their crazy code share restrictions apply to your airline. It’s caught me in the past. Here are the restrictions from air New Zealand’s website.

Connecting to another airline's aircraft:

We can't transfer any bag containing a firearm or ammunition to another airline (including our codeshare partners).
When planning your travel, you will need to allow for more time to clear customs, collect your bags and check them in with the new airline.
It is your responsibility to declare the firearm and ammunition to the new airline.
All flights in your itinerary must be booked under the operating carrier's flight numbers. For example, if you have a flight operated by United Airlines, it must been booked with a UA flight number (UA923) and not with an Air New Zealand codeshare flight number (NZ9834).
