Passengers in holiday travel faced minor delays amid fresh security measures. Mary Lecarpentier from London to New York noted the line moved smoothly, while British Airways and Virgin Atlantic warned travelers to limit hand luggage and expect unwrapped gifts at security.

Incheon and other hubs added secondary checks for US-bound travelers.
