Another option is to visit the luggage or baggage services desk for your airline, which is typically located in the baggage claim area. If these options are not available or convenient, you can contact your airline directly.

Lost Checked Baggage

If your checked bag does not appear in the baggage claim area within a reasonable amount of time after your flight's arrival, don't panic.

How to File a Report

When reporting a lost item, it's important to provide as much detail as possible. This includes your first and last name, contact number, date and time of travel, the airline used, and a detailed description of the lost item including brand, color, size, type, and any identifiable features. This information can be submitted via the Online Form.

Collection, Delivery, and Charges

Once your item has been located, it can be collected in person during normal business hours. Please note that a picture ID is required at the time of pickup. If you are unable to collect your item, you can arrange for someone else to collect it on your behalf, provided they have proper identification and your verified permission.

For small items, the airport can return them via U.S. Mail if you provide a self-addressed and self-stamped mailing container. If you prefer another shipping company, you should arrange this directly and notify the Department of Airports, who will prepare your item for shipment.

Please be aware that the Lost and Found Office only holds items for 30 days from the date of receipt.

Special Considerations

For sensitive items such as passports or electronics, please note that additional security measures may be required to ensure the rightful owner is claiming the item. Also, be aware of third-party services that may charge unauthorized fees for the return of lost items. It is recommended to only use the airport's official Lost & Found service, your airline, or TSA to retrieve your lost items.
