Yup, plus you pick up your bags, go through customs and recheck your bags after landing at the first US airport. Same for Canada AFAIK.

Sometimes you don’t have to re-check your bags.
Some US airports and airlines are like that for some flights (e.g. international delta flight to Detroit and then onward to Canada). Finally US customs figured that there’s less to worry about if you just hold onto my bags instead of forcing me to pick them up.

> Wait... so you need a USA visa just to fly a route that goes via the USA, even if you never leave the airport?
Yes. There are some details at the following article: https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Avoiding_travel_through_the_U...
That seems... suboptimal.
All it takes is a corridor from arrivals to departures to allow people to leave again on a different plane out of the country.
