Thread: Transiting through Australia to hunt in South Africa with firearm

If your flying Qantas or Air NZ and booked straight through to South Africa on the same airline, then you shouldn't have a problem. My experiences with both airlines has been great and completely hassle free.

Any other airline, especially Emirates, prepare for a headache of two, or three, or four... Many airline simply won't transport firearms without special circumstances and heaps of advance notice.

Australia can be a problem if you're not familiar with the local system and procedures. The Australian Border Security team leader ( whose team specifically deals with firearms and alike) at Sydney International airport is very helpful and professional, and a great lady to deal with.

Feel free to PM me, also happy to chat on the phone.
