You can transport firearms and ammunition on Frontier flights, but restrictions apply. Let us look at the details below to learn more:
- Passengers who are 18 and older can transport firearm parts, firearms, or ammunition only in checked bags on domestic flights to the United States. However, you cannot bring them on the plane as carry-on baggage. If security finds them in your hand luggage, they may confiscate them.
- On international flights, bringing firearms and ammunition isn’t permissible, not even in your checked baggage.
- You should unload all firearms during travel.
- At the ticket counter during check-in, declare to the Frontier agent that your bag contains a firearm.
- Pack your firearm well. You may use any hard-sided container: a locked suitcase/container or a locked gun case. Lock it securely, and only you must be able to unlock it. Occasionally, the TSA screener might have to examine the firearm. In those cases, you will need to provide security personnel with either the combination or the key.
- Each passenger may carry around 11 pounds of ammunition. No more than that,
- You should securely pack the ammunition in the packaging of the original manufacturer. You may even keep it inside a wooden, metal, or fiber box.
- You may even pack the ammunition in clips or magazines, especially if the exposed part is sealed or covered. Overall, pack the ammunition securely.
- When carrying black powder firearms, percussion caps and black powder aren’t permitted in checked or carry-on bags.
Frontier Airlines takes passenger safety seriously—no wonder it has strict rules. Violators will face severe penalties and fines of up to $10,000.
