So, I was wanting to fly frontier and take my AR with me to go shooting with the relatives over thanksgiving.

Do you know what the policy is with ammo?

What I want to do is load up 8-10 PMAGS and put the dust covers on them, and then throw those in the same locked case as the AR.

Do you guys know if that is acceptable?


Here is all the info that they have on the website.


"Firearms & ammunition
Transporting firearms and ammunition is serious business. We understand your right to bear arms, but we do have some specific rules which comply with security requirements about checking them.

For everyone's safety, we ask that you familiarize yourself and comply with the rules when requesting transport of firearms and related equipment. Firearms, ammunition and firearm parts may be transported in checked baggage on flights operating in the U.S., but are prohibited from being carried-on. In other words, you'll never make it through security, so if you want your equipment to arrive at your destination, you have to check it.

Note: On flights in the U.S., hunting rifles, shotguns and ammunition may be transported by passengers 18 years of age or older. Firearms are not allowed on any other international flights even if checked.

All firearms must be unloaded and declared to a customer service representative at the ticket counter.
Firearms must be packed in a hard-sided, locked container (or suitcase) or a hard-sided, locked gun case.
You must be present during screening by the TSA and provide the key or combination to the TSA security screener if it becomes necessary to open the container.
One passenger is allowed to check up to 11 pounds of ammunition.
Any ammunition transported must be securely packed in the original manufacturer's packaging, fiber (such as cardboard), wood or metal boxes or other packaging specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition.
Loaded ammunition clips and magazines must also be securely boxed
The ammunition may be located in the same hard-sided locked case as the firearm, as long as it's properly packed as described.
Black powder and percussion caps used with black-powder type firearms aren't permitted in carry-on or checked baggage.

We take the safety and security of our passengers and employees with the utmost seriousness. These regulatory requirements are strictly enforced. Violations can result in criminal prosecution and the imposition of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. "
