Delta Air Lines has introduced “Seamless Baggage Transfer” on flight DL294 from Tokyo/Haneda to Atlanta.
The service was made possible through collaboration with Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Tokyo International Airport Terminal, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Passengers connecting via Atlanta from Haneda no longer need to collect and recheck their checked baggage upon arrival, and can proceed directly to the boarding gate for their connecting flight.
Following screening at Haneda Airport, CBP security checks are conducted before the aircraft arrives in Atlanta, and baggage is automatically transported to passengers’ final destinations. Connection times can be reduced by up to 25 minutes. The service is also available to passengers arriving from elsewhere in Japan and other cities who use this flight.
The service is already available on routes from Seoul/Incheon to Atlanta, Minneapolis, Detroit, Seattle, and Los Angeles, as well as on the Sydney–Los Angeles route.
