Avelo will not accept assembled firearms or ammunition for transportation, except as provided below and subject to the size and weight specifications contained below.
- Firearms (e.g., sport rifles, shotguns, and handguns) may be transported as Checked Bags on all routes except flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU), and international flights, so long as they are unloaded and encased in a hard sided, locked container acceptable to Avelo for withstanding normal Baggage handling without sustaining damage to the firearm, with the Customer retaining possession of the key or combination to the container lock. Locking, hard-sided baggage will not be considered an acceptable container. Firearms may not be packed loose inside a checked bag. Laws regarding the carrying of firearms vary by destination, and it is the responsibility of the customer carrying a firearm to know and adhere to all local requirements.
- Ammunition. Small arms ammunition intended for sport or hunting will be accepted on all routes except flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU), and international flights, provided it is carried within sturdy Checked Bags and in the manufacturer’s original container or an equivalent fiber, wood, or metal container specifically designed to carry ammunition and providing for sufficient cartridge separation. Magazines and clips containing ammunition must be securely packaged to protect the cartridge primers. Avelo will accept ammunition weighing no more than 11 total pounds (5 kilograms) per Customer.
- Gun Boxes. Gun boxes designed to hold no more than two sporting rifles, two shotguns or two handguns are subject to excess, oversize and overweight charges, if applicable.
