What is the airline's policy on travel with a firearm on my Southwest Airlines flight?

If you are planning to travel with a firearm on a Southwest Airlines flight, there are a few things you should know about their policies and procedures.

First and foremost, it is important to note that all firearms must be declared and checked with a Southwest Airlines Customer Service Agent at the airport ticket counter. Firearms cannot be carried on and must be transported in a locked, hard-sided container. The firearm must also be unloaded and the ammunition must be stored separately. Additionally, the container must meet all TSA and Southwest Airlines requirements.

Southwest Airlines only allows firearms to be transported on flights within the United States and its territories. It is also important to note that some states and municipalities have their own regulations regarding the transportation of firearms, so it is important to research and follow all applicable laws and regulations.

It is also recommended that passengers arrive at the airport early to allow sufficient time for the check-in and screening process for firearms. Southwest Airlines reserves the right to refuse the transport of any firearm that does not meet their policies and procedures or presents a safety concern.
