United's new baggage limitations make almost every single gun case oversize by just a few inches resulting in a $125 surcharge. The check in personell havent been measuring every one and I know guys that got singles through that were barely over the 62" limit without getting socked but youre purely at their mercy if they decide to measure. I was only taking one small bolt action so I broke it down to fit in a takedown shotgun case.

Southwest doesnt play that game at least not yet. Their size limits will still allow a gun case but be careful with bigger bow cases.

Next time, I'm flying Southwest or Im UPS'ing my guns ahead!!

(L+W+H must be less than 62" or it's oversize. Check your hard gun cases and I'll bet you that it's around 64-66" or bigger)
