New ground experience enhancements are removing friction from airport journeys with simpler international connections.

Delta is making international connections smoother and more predictable, thanks to trusted partnerships and innovative technology. Customers departing from Seoul, South Korea (ICN) to Minneapolis (MSP) or Detroit (DTW) and onward to a Delta flight can now head straight to their connecting gate after clearing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and security with no need to reclaim and recheck bags, unless specifically referred by CBP for further inspection.

This enhancement builds on the success of a program called Seamless Baggage Transfer, first introduced in 2025 for ICN–ATL customers, bringing the same convenience to additional hubs. By expanding this offering, Delta is giving travelers back valuable time—up to 25 minutes on average—and making international connections seamless and more predictable.

Later this year, Seamless Baggage Transfer will be expanded to include flights from Incheon (ICN) to Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA), operated by Delta and Korean Air, as well as Incheon (ICN) to Los-Angeles International Airport (LAX) operated by Korean Air.

TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID

TSA PreCheck Touchless ID is now live at more than 60 airports including all Delta hubs, giving customers a faster, more intuitive way to verify their identity at bag drop and security, with fewer touchpoints and expedited wait times. The technology uses secure biometric verification to streamline and help customers move through the airport with confidence and ease.

• To be eligible for TSA PreCheck Touchless ID, each customer must:
• Be a SkyMiles Member
• Enroll in TSA PreCheck and have a Known Traveler Number
• Have a valid non expired passport

Did you know? Now, eligible customers can opt in to Touchless ID right through the Delta app– no need to go through Delta.com. SkyMiles Members with a verified passport number and a Known Traveler Number saved to their profile can now enable Touchless ID easily – preferences will be saved for future travel.
