Basic answer, gun has to be in a locked hard case and unloaded, only you should have the key or combination. Locked case can be inside other luggage. Do not mark the bag as having a firearm and the airline should not as well but they will probably place a tag in the suitcase indicating a firearm is present. The airline may ask you to verify it is unloaded. The presence of the gun needs to be declared to the check-in clerk. Check airline pages for specific information. The main differences between airlines is how they treat ammo. Most are going to want it in the original boxes, not loaded into magazines. Some want it in separate bags from the gun as well.
