Delta expands Seamless Baggage Transfer to Sydney–Los Angeles route

Delta Air Lines began offering its Seamless Baggage Transfer service on Sydney–Los Angeles flights on 13 October 2026, allowing checked bags to be screened in Sydney before arriving at Los Angeles International Airport and enabling passengers to proceed directly to their connecting gate.

The service, which uses advanced X‑ray screening and US Customs and Border Protection review in Sydney, is reported to save customers up to 25 minutes during connections and reduces customs interactions by more than 65 percent, applying to both nonstop Sydney–Los Angeles flights and connections through Sydney onto the nonstop service.
