Firearms as Baggage
Can anyone advise which airlines flying out of the UK to Spain will allow firearms (shotguns) to be carried? I travel to Spain 3 or 4 times a year to go Clay shooting, and I'm looking to organise a trip to the UK for a number of Spanish friends - it would be really useful if I knew the position of ALL the airlines fliying out of Malaga/Alicante to Manchester so I can get some seats booked.. The firearms would of course be contained in approved cased, have all the necessary customs paperwork amd all the owners possess EU firearms passports - any help would be very much appreciated

In the case of easyJet you must call the reservations centre prior to the flight so the details can be put on your booking and so they can inform you of the regulations in place ohh and you must have a licence to own the said firearm. But in the whole carrying them is perfectly ok as they just go in the hold with the rest of the luggage.

If you have a license and call ahead shouldn't be a problem - have just helped a club member of the Rifle Club of which I'm secretary organise his stuff for fixtures in Canada next month.
