Tanking Antlers On A Flight

[Borrheid]

A friend wants to take 20 year old antlers to his property in Spain. Can they go as hold luggage on Easyjet?

[TWR]

I would contact the Airline for the advice Borrheid.

[Borrheid]

Thank you TWR I will do. Just wondered if any ABers knew the answer. Easyjet policy online says ' no game trophies ' in hand baggage.

[TWR]

Another option is by road freight, but they would have to be very well wrapped / packed, what part of Spain?

[237SJ]

Proving there is no rule about importing animal parts into Spain, I don`t see why not. There are a whole lot of rules/laws about carriage of dangerous goods and antlers aren`t dangerous goods.

They are dangerous in a rut!

[TWR]

Borrheid, to reduce the cost Google Parcel Force / DHL / For prices.

[237SJ]

Whoops, meant "providing" not proving

[Prudie]

If you wrapped them really well (bubble wrap?) and then put in a case I don't see a problem with them going as hold luggage.

[237SJ]

I wouldn`t put them in a case. The loaders will chuck other cases on top and they`ll get smashed to bits. I`d wrap them in thick bubble wrap and put fragile stickers all over them.

[Zacs-Master]

I would imagine it would be dead deer.

[Tilly2]

You'd never get them in a case, surely!

[Tilly2]

Antlers are not fragile. Anything but.

[Zacs-Master]

Haven't you heard of Antler luggage Tilly?

[Prudie]

It depends, are we talking muntjac or red deer?

[237SJ]

Fragile or not, the loaders will still chuck them about. I remember seeing a lot of boxes coming out of a hold with "Fragile, live fish" on them and they were being chucked about all over the place.

[Borrheid]

Thank you ABers , good advice as always. As for 'dead deer' that made me laugh! I will call Easyjet as well. I'll keep you posted!
