Gun cases and Alaska Air

[Huntnut60]

Haven’t flown to a hunt in 16 years but am flying to Alaska on Alaska Air. Reviewing their gun cases requirements I was wondering if an older gun case with 4 latches, the end ones have locking mechanisms, meets the requirements. Then latches have built in locks but I am sure the locks from that type of case all have the same key. Would this meet the requirements of unique locking device?

Best way to get the correct answer would be to make a phone call and ask them directly before you get bad info from an internet forum.

Just make sure they are TSA approved locks. I have had locks rejected

Non-TSA Locks, they can ask you to unlock them.

I usually borrow locks from work and whoever I’m traveling with we all fly them so we each have a key incase someone looses their key

The rule is that only the owner should be able to unlock the case, and when all unlocked or non-locking latches are open, there should be no way to pry it open.
