Vic Falls Airport

Has anyone transited through the Vic Falls airport with rifles. Also does know if Ethiopian airlines and Discover have a baggage agreement so I wouldn’t have to touch my rifle. Thanks

Been through there twice with a rifle and flew on Ethiopian both times. No idea on "Discover". The Vic Falls custom guys are slow but I never had any problems . The first time I went they hit me up for a "tip" and I gave them a few dollars. The second time I told them to kiss my ass. Didn't seem to affect me getting through either way. I would recommend the latter approach.

I had no trouble transiting through both in and out this May via Ethiopian. $5 made things smooth on the way in, not necessary on the way out. Very small terminal, so no need for an arrival service, in my opinion.

I always give $5 to airlink rifle handlers. Never had any problems. My hunting partner won't tip them and on 2 of our trips he had problems, delays that I did not have. $5 tip is well worth my avoiding unnecessary conversations with airline or govt bureaucrats.
