No worries. no advance notice needed unlike say Airlink in JNB or if you are going through Amsterdam. Just plan on showing up at least three hours early I do four hours. They will weigh your ammo ask you to open your rifle case then they place their review card in your rifle case and tell you to place your ammo case in your checked luggage. They then escort you to TSA who checks your rifle. TSA then takes your rifle to luggage for loading not you and you are done. In all my trips zero problem with Delta and TSA out of AtlantaFinally have the tickets booked for our first trip to SA and our honeymoon. I know I have to declare to the airlines that I am traveling with firearms at some point. My questions are
1. How far in advance do I need to do it
2. Is this in writing
The Delta website says we must declare it to the ticketing agent at check in but that seems late in the game to do it. Anyone have any first hand experience on this.
