Just insure your gun for replacement value and go have fun. If it gets lost, an A400 is easy to replace. Nothing to worry about!
He is not concerned about flying with an A400, he can rent/borrow an A400 in Florida if he chooses to leave his gun(s) at home…..i am guessing he has a more considerable Trap Gun/combo he is a little anxious about flying with, along with the layover/plane change in route…..

As others have offered, make sure your shootin‘ iron(s) are insured properly, packed and protected in proper case(s), and even take the extra step of adding a gps tracker hidden in the case, and try not to worry about it. Otherwise, leave em at home and shoot a few days with a loaner and have fun.
 
That's why we use pelican cases. Break down guns fit perfect, can pack clothes as well. Ours had zero markings or decals. Just pelican and our locks. And they would have blew their Pampers off if they saw what was in our cases!!!!
Pelican cases are one of the few good to best options that remain (that don’t weigh a ton) for transporting a firearm on an airplane safely and securely. There are a few other airline safe/approved case options available, but i believe Pelican is the best & most affordable option.

Zero decals, stickers, and markings on the outside = fantastic advice.

Locked case, insured guns, tracking device hidden, and follow the TSA guidelines and go have fun.
