Things You'll Need:
- Gun case
- Ticket to Hawaii
-
Step 1
Put your firearm in the manufacturer's case that came with the gun or purchase a hard sided case that will fit your gun. The firearm must be unloaded before being put in its case to be checked.
-
Step 2
Decide whether to put your gun in its case inside your suitcase or checked it in on its own. If you put the case inside a suitcase, the suitcase must be closed with a TSA approved lock before it can be checked, and it must be a hard-sided suitcase.
-
Step 3
Put all ammunition into one bag. The ammunition and gun accessories, such as noise suppressors, cannot exceed 11 pounds. The ammunition must be in its original packaging; there can be no loose ammunition.
-
Step 4
Declare to the representative at the check-in counter that you have a firearm that you want to check as baggage or that's enclosed inside your suitcase.
