Please note that the lost property office is not responsible for checked and lost baggage. In this case, kindly contact the responsible baggage tracing office of your airline.

Items Lost at Security Checkpoint Areas

For items lost at security checkpoints, please contact the Lost and Found department directly.

Items Lost in Other Areas

If you've lost items in other areas such as parking areas, rental car facilities, shuttle buses, and similar areas that are not located inside the airport, the Lost and Found department is also your point of contact.

Items Lost on the Plane

If you believe you have left an item on the aircraft after arriving at Frankfurt Airport, there are several options available to you. First, you can return to the gate where your flight arrived. However, please note that due to security regulations, this may not always be possible.

Another option is to visit the lost and found desk, if one is available at the airport. This is often the first place where items left on planes are brought.

Alternatively, you could visit the luggage/baggage services desk for your airline. This is typically located in the baggage claim area. The staff there can assist you in tracking down your lost item.

Finally, if your item is still missing, you can contact your airline directly. They may have additional resources to help locate your item.

Lost Checked Baggage

If your bag does not appear in the baggage claim area within a reasonable amount of time, don't panic. The first step is to contact the baggage services desk for your airline, which is usually located in the same area. They can help you track your bag and provide information on what to do next.
