One Stop Security, Delta’s new airport program, could change the way we travel. The initiative is designed to allow passengers to bypass redundant security checks—ultimately enabling them to proceed directly to their gate, as they would for a domestic connection, rather than having to pick up and recheck their bags and go back through TSA after landing in U.S. The process is said to save travelers up to 45 minutes... but does it actually work? Right now, this has been rolled out for customers flying from London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) and connecting through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to a domestic destination.

00:00I flew all the way from London to St. Louis via Atlanta just to test Delta's new one-stop
00:04security program and see how much time it actually saves. This initiative lets international travelers
00:09head straight to their gate like a domestic connection, skipping baggage collection and
00:12recheck an additional TSA. And when we landed in Atlanta, I used it and Zach didn't.
00:17I just got off the plane. I'm going to customs now. I'm going to see how long the queue is.
00:21I went through global entry in like 30 seconds. I don't have to go through security or anything
00:25else again. I don't have to pick up my bags. So I'm going to go to the gate and see how long
00:28it takes Zach to meet. This customs line is so long and I still have to get my bag and go
00:32through security here. I saved so much time with one-stop security that I'm literally going to go
00:37into the newly opened Delta Sky Club and wait for Zach, chill out a little bit and see how long it
00:42takes him to get here. Just got through customs. I'm at the baggage claim and now it's time to go
00:47find my bag. Zach is still nowhere to be found. So I'm going to explore the lounge a little bit
00:51and grab some lunch. Got my bag and now I'm in line for security round two where I have to recheck
00:56the bag I just picked up. I just cleared security for the second time. I'm going to go find my gate
01:01now. Okay, so it's been like almost an hour and Zach texted me that he's through security. So I'm
01:06going to go to the gate now and definitely still beat him there. But I've been walking for like a
01:10legit hour. Let's see if I can go find Maddie at our gate. Just a super quick pit stop for me. Oh my
01:15gosh, there she is. There he is. Gosh, took forever. Okay, we're finally both at the gate. One-stop security
01:21had us save nearly an hour of time. I feel like every international route needs to have this. Oh,
01:26I 100% agree. What route do you want to see this program come to next?
