Airport Lost and Found

You may file a report for items that were:

1. Lost or found inside Airport terminals, waiting rooms, checkin counters, luggage checkin
2. Misplaced anywhere on airport property
3. Left behind within the last 30 days

Include clear details such as the concourse (T, A, B, C, D, E, or F), date, time window, and a description of the item. Photos or identifying features can help speed up matching.

Important: Items left onboard an aircraft must be reported directly to the airline (Delta, Southwest, or other carriers), as airlines manage inflight lost property independently from the airport.

What Happens After You File a Report?

Once your lost property report is submitted:

1. Your report enters our database and is matched against found items
2. Airport staff may contact you if a match is found
3. You can check your claim status anytime through our tracking system

Most lost items at Airport are turned in to the airport’s central lost and found office, though some may be held temporarily at individual concourses.
