Regulations of carrying a shotgun within the hold of the aeroplane. Shotgun contained within a secure case.

Admin Reply :

Are you taking this shotgun to/from UK? Because, there are country wide restrictions apart from general restrictions. General restrictions are that you can take this only in check-in, in empty and proper packed condition, with registration and permit to use documentation, not more than 5 kg small calibre ammunition can be taken with firearm and that it shall not be a projectile.

Dear TAP I will flight from Brazil to Germany using TAP airline. I have a doubt about 2 specific items to be carried with me in my luggage. The items are: 1 electrical epilator and 1 tweezer. My luggage fits the limits to stay with me on the cabin, is it allowed to boarding with these 2 items? Thanks a lot Suely Pimentel

Admin Reply :

These shall ideally be taken in check in baggage to avoid hassles.
