Crossbow Question

[Bobpuckett]

Okay folks I'm doing another trip to South Africa but going to do it a little different this time. This time I want to carry my Crossbow rather than a rifle as well as my Compound Bow I have a heck of a layover in Doha before flying back to Johannesburg. does anyone know of any special transport reg's or temporary import laws I need to be aware of bringing archery equipment through these Countries? Thanks in advance.

I flew though Doha in August of 2017 but didn't bring a weapon. I think there was a guy that flew though there with archery equipment. I also think Phil is going through there this year. Are you flying Qatar?

 

[Bobpuckett]

Yes, First time to fly with them also, the flight really sucks arrive in Doha around 4:00 pm or so don't fly back out til 2:00 am long layover but no use getting a room.

They do have a bar in the airport. We had that big layover also. I can't sleep on planes and maybe dose a little in an airport. When I go again it will be South African or Delta. Might as well get the torture over with as quick as possible.

Cool that makes my day, least I won't go dry! LOL when you had your layover did you have to get your luggage or did it go straight through to Jburg before you had to switch to domestic flights?

 

[lwaters]

My luggage went in through. Actually it was one of the nicest airports I've been in. They had sleep rooms but men and women had to be separate.

 

[Bobpuckett]

Wow that is cool not that anyone could sleep in there with my snoring! But I sleep good on the plane.

Never could figure out why everyone's eyes looked so blood shot after a 19 hr flight heck mine was fine.
