Items Lost in Airport Terminals

Items Lost in Other Areas

For items lost in areas such as parking lots, rental car facilities, or shuttle buses, the procedure is the same as for items lost in the airport terminals. The Sarasota Manatee Airport Police Department will handle these items as well.

Items Lost on the Plane

If you believe you've left an item on the plane after landing at Sarasota Bradenton Airport, you have several options to recover your belongings. First, you can return to the gate where your flight disembarked and inform the staff there. If you've already left the secure area of the airport, you can go to the lost and found desk, if available. Most airports have a lost and found desk where items left on planes are kept for a certain period.

Alternatively, you can visit the luggage or baggage services desk for your airline, usually located in the baggage claim area. This desk handles all issues related to luggage, including lost items. Another option is to contact your airline directly. Most airlines have procedures in place for recovering lost items.

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 baggage services desk of your airline. The staff there can help track your luggage and update you on its status.

How to File a Report

Unfortunately, Sarasota Bradenton Airport does not support online form submission for lost items. To report a lost item, you must contact the Lost & Found Coordinator directly via the provided phone number. When reporting, be prepared to provide your First and Last Name, Contact number, Date and Time of travel, Airline used, and a detailed description of the property that includes brand, color, size, type, and identifiable features. Timely reporting and detailed descriptions can increase the chances of your lost item being found.

Collection, Delivery, and Charges

Once your item has been found, you can collect it from the Sarasota Manatee Airport Police Department during their operating hours. You will need to provide proof that you are the legitimate owner of the item. Depending on the item and its value, additional proof may be required. Please note that there may be charges associated with the storage and processing of lost items.

Special Considerations

For sensitive items like passports or electronics, additional proof of ownership may be required due to security measures and privacy concerns. Unclaimed items are held for a period of 30 days, after which they may be disposed of according to Florida Statutes. Be wary of third-party services claiming to assist with lost and found items, as they may charge unauthorized fees.
