  • many thanks for this. as i mentioned below i do have an ESTA (i do not have a print off of it however as i think it's linked to my passport when they scan it) but i did select 'yes' to question 'is usa for transit' hoepfully this is sufficient.

    There should be NO need to re-collect bags. DFW has a special program where many International-to-International connections do NOT require the bags to be collected/re-checked. The passenger still needs to pass through immigrations, but they do not need to collected/recheck bags. Flights from LHR on AA are included in this program.

    @Doc ah, so this is indeed one of those few exceptions. Do you have a reference for this? I knew AA had such a programme in place in a some locations but I didn’t remember DFW being one of them (and last time I searched for information on the topic it was rather hard to find and quite vague).

    @jcaron aa.com/content/images/jp/ti/pdf/iti_en.pdf but oddly only on their JP website. Flyertalk has more details in the AA forum. AA (and some partners) do ITI at DFW and MIA. United do it at IAH.

    @Maths12 I'd print off a copy of the ESTA anyway. When going through passport control it never hurts to have contingencies.
