Items Lost on the Plane

Another option is to go to the lost and found desk if one is available at the airport. This is usually located in the arrivals area or the main terminal. Lastly, you could visit the luggage/baggage services desk for your airline, typically found in the baggage claim area, or contact the airline directly. Each airline has its own procedure for handling lost items, so it's important to follow their specific instructions.

Lost Checked Baggage

If your bag does not appear in the baggage claim area within a reasonable amount of time after your flight has landed, you should first contact the baggage services office of the airline you flew with.
