International connections will be more convenient, thanks to a collaboration between American Airlines, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the U.K. Department for Transport (DfT). The pilot program is called One Stop Security (OSS), and helps passengers connect to international destinations through London Heathrow Airport (LHR) when flying from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). The program aims to simplify connections and avoid repeated screenings and bag-checks.
OSS simplifies connections to Europe

The program debuted on February 4, with American Airlines working with U.S. and U.K. governments to ensure a smooth process. As part of the pilot, passengers fly from American’s largest domestic hub at DFW to its largest European hub at LHR. There, customers can experience more streamlined connections throughout Europe. American’s participation in the program focuses on the customer experience and making travel more convenient.
