Delta expands baggage transfers on Pacific routes as airports upgrade

Delta has expanded its Seamless Baggage Transfer service on select Pacific routes, allowing eligible passengers connecting to U.S. flights to proceed to their gate after customs and security without reclaiming and rechecking bags unless selected for inspection. Delta also says TSA PreCheck Touchless ID is available at more than 60 airports, including all its hubs. McGhee Tyson Airport is replacing its parking access system with scan-based equipment, with the garage and lots expected to transition by Nov. 16. At Rapid City Regional Airport, new ticket counters and an inline baggage system are now operating as part of an approximately $80 million expansion aimed at improving efficiency and accommodating passenger growth.
