Thank you for the information. Are they flying with decals over their cases or other identifying marks?

No, but the anti's recognize cases. A friend of mine who has hunted all over the world started using a hard case normally used for convention booths, he slid in the rifles and some of his baggage around them and locked it as required. Never had another problem since it didn't look like a gun case.
On one of my trips to New Zealand our guns never made it. We went and bought a rifle at a local guns store and also used some of the outfitters rifles. The day we were leaving our guns showed up at the Christchurch airport, they said they had been in London the whole time.

Thank you bearpaw! Any bad stories out of a France transfer? There is a lot of flights that go through there as well.

Never heard any, have you checked on a direct flight from Atlanta without stopping in Europe? I think Delta is the carrier?
Google says United also flies direct from Wshington DC to RSA.

I have a coworker from New Jersey that recommenced a connecting flight through Newark, he told me Atlanta is massive and can be confusing. The tickets are not available yet, but march of 2026 is showing now. I presume by next month we can purchase the tickets and will stick with a US airport for transfer. Thanks again for all the guidance! Honestly this is the only part of the trip I am stressing.
