Location-Specific Procedures

Items Lost in Airport Terminals

If you suspect that you've lost an item within the airport terminals (excluding security checkpoint areas, immigration and customs areas, airline lounges, or items left on an airplane), you should contact the Lost and Found Department using the contact information provided above.

Items Lost at Security Checkpoint Areas

If you've lost an item at a security checkpoint, you can reach out directly to the TSA by calling +1-916-830-0227.

Items Lost in Other Areas

For items lost in areas such as parking lots, rental car facilities, shuttle buses, or other areas outside the airport terminals, you should still contact the Lost and Found Department. They will guide you on the best course of action.

Items Lost on the Plane

If you believe you've left an item on the aircraft after arriving at Sacramento Airport, there are several options available to you. First, you can attempt to return to the gate where your flight disembarked, as some items may be found by cleaning crews and left there. If this isn't possible or successful, try visiting the Lost and Found desk if one is available at the airport. This is where items found within the airport are typically stored. If you can't locate your item there, head to the luggage or baggage services desk for your airline, which is typically located in the baggage claim area. If all else fails, contact your airline directly as they may have specific procedures for items left on their aircraft.

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 report the issue to the airline's baggage service office, which is usually located near the baggage claim area. They can help track down your bag or file a claim if necessary.
