Depends on the airline. FAA rules allow loaded magazines in magazine pouches if no rounds are exposed. That's what I do. However, your airline may require ammo to be packed in the original box.

I use a COM style box now but I have flown with a $2 lock on a $5 plastic pistol case in my luggage.ES4Me wrote:Also, says it has to be in a hard sided case. I have a lock box that was given to me as a Christmas gift - but I do not feel it is too secure. Think it could be easily pried open with a screwdriver. Would locking up the original case my XD came in be sufficient? There are holes on the case that appear to be just what this was intended for.
