Got Antlers? It’ll Cost Ya

whitetail deer huntingTransporting your trophy home on the airlines has always been something of a hassle, but now it is getting more expensive.

US Airways has announced the doubling of fees for transporting your trophies — to $200 per set of antlers each way.

Checked luggage? That fee’s bad enough, but $200 one way for antlers is a little much.

Here are the new rules:

Dimension (H + W + L) must not exceed 120 in/305 cm

On the CRJ aircraft the largest dimension cannot exceed 33 in/84 cm and the overall dimensions cannot exceed 99 in/252 cm

On the Dash 8 aircraft the largest dimension cannot exceed 50 in/127 cm

Head/skull must be completely clean and free of residue

Points must be covered and protected

One rack per ticketed customer

Can’t combine or cradle two or more racks
