Location-Specific Procedures

Items Lost in Airport Terminals

If you suspect that you have lost an item within the terminal areas of the airport, excluding security checkpoint areas, immigration and customs areas, airline lounges, or items left on an airplane, you may report it to the Lost and Found department.

Items Lost at Security Checkpoint Areas

For items lost at TSA security checkpoints, you can contact TSA directly through their contact page located here.

Items Lost in Other Areas

For items lost in other areas such as parking areas, rental car facilities, shuttle buses, and similar areas not located inside the airport, it is recommended to contact the specific department or company overseeing those areas.

Items Lost on the Plane

If you believe you've left an item on the aircraft after your arrival at Orlando Sanford Airport, there are several steps you can take to recover your belongings. You can return to the gate where your flight disembarked and inform the gate agents of your lost item. If the gate is already closed, you can visit the lost and found desk if one is available at the airport. Another option is to go to the luggage/baggage services desk of the airline you flew with, typically located in the baggage claim area. As a last resort, you could contact the airline directly to report your lost item.

Lost Checked Baggage

If your checked baggage does not appear in the baggage claim area within a reasonable amount of time, don't panic. The first step is to contact the airline's baggage services counter, which is usually located within the baggage claim area. If your baggage is not found immediately, the airline will track it using your baggage receipt, so it's important to keep this document safe. If the airline is unable to locate your baggage, you can file a lost baggage claim with the airline.

Timely reporting and detailed descriptions can significantly increase the chances of recovering your lost item.

Collection, Delivery, and Charges

Once your lost item has been found, you will be contacted by the Lost and Found department to arrange for collection. The airport does not specify any fees or charges associated with the lost and found services; however, it is advisable to confirm this when contacted about your item.

Special Considerations

When it comes to sensitive items like passports or electronics, additional security measures may be in place to ensure the rightful owner claims these items. Be prepared to provide proof of ownership for such items. Beware of third-party services that may charge unauthorized fees. Unclaimed items are typically held for a certain period before being disposed of in accordance with the airport's policies.
