Summary

The U.S. government has launched partnerships with several countries to make the process of connecting flights smoother for international travelers. Two pilot programs, One Stop Security and International Remote Baggage Screening, allow eligible passengers to skip security re-checks and have their luggage transferred directly to their final destination. The programs are currently available on select routes with participating airlines, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines.


Our Reading

The escape is carefully planned.

Travelers on select international routes can now skip the TSA re-check before catching a connecting flight to their final destination. One Stop Security is available on flights from London’s Heathrow Airport to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. International Remote Baggage Screening allows passengers on approved routes to have their luggage transferred directly to their final destination, eliminating the need for a bag re-check in the U.S.

It’s efficiency, designed to make you feel like you’re not still in an airport.
