## Delta gives customers back time with Seamless Baggage Transfer, TSA PreCheck Touchless ID and Uber drop-off *New ground experience enhancements are removing friction from airport journeys with simpler international connections, fewer touchpoints at bag drop and security and easier arrivals from curb to gate.* Staff Writer Wed, 04/15/2026 - 09:00 [day02\_shot04b\_awcsahelpingfamilyfriendsatcheckin\_05002\_a1\_cmyk-2\_0.jpg](/media/image/70716) 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.

Since [introducing Preferred Drop-Off at LaGuardia Airport (LGA)](https://news.delta.com/delta-and-uber-deepen-partnership-new-lga-drop-exclusive-offers) and expanding to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) late last year, thousands of customers each week have saved time by using the experience. Delta x Uber Preferred Drop-Off helps reduce congestion at busy curbs and makes navigating arrival simpler. To access, customers can select “Delta x Uber Preferred Drop-Off” directly in the Uber app when traveling to LGA or ATL. > **Pro tip:** Because Delta x Uber Preferred Drop-Off is a new experience, there may be times when customers and drivers are still getting familiar with the location. A quick confirmation to follow airport signage to the correct drop off location can help ensure a smooth arrival.
