taking air canada to ipsc matches - is it $50 or $90/flight?

[omen]

hey guys,

I keep on hearing how it's now $90/flight to fly AC with guns, but on their website it's still $50... Anyone know what's the story with $90?

Thanks

Due to my physical location, (To get to Ottawa from Halifax, Westjet has to go to Toronto first...) I've been forced to fly AC a few times over the last year and with the exception of once last summer, they've forgotten to charge me anything each time. I've heard the same from others.

Quickly do your declaration and move along......don't remind them

I fly with handguns fairly often, as stated above, they do not always ask for the fee, and when they do, I tell them I have no money and offer to leave the pistols with them right there, since I don;t really need them. Most of the time they just wave me onward

For Toronto / Montreal / Ottawa / Halifax you might want to try flyporter.com. I haven't flown with a gun but the Toronto - Montreal service is great.

I'll take a look at fly porter - the only reason I'm looking at AC is I have a free return flights with them that I need to book by the end of the month or lose the points... So I'm thinking Halifax for the NS provincials...

I'm pretty sure it's $50 per flight. so maybe they give you a deal and it's only 90 on a return ticket?...

They will charge $50 each way per case, but it will depend who you get at the ticket counter whether you'll get dinged.

We booked with BMI because they had a "no extra firearms fee" policy if you're within luggage restrictions. We didn't realize until later that BMI put us on AC+Luftansa flights. AC charged us the fee on the way out because we were on "their metal" , but Luft decided it was a stupid fee and didn't charge us on the way back .

We'll be complaining to BMI .

Flew quite a bit on AC, since I used Aeroplan most of the time......never been charge that fee.....
