Location-Specific Procedures

Items Lost in Airport Terminals

If you suspect you have lost an item in the airport terminals or on the airport property, you should contact the Lost and Found Department. This excludes items lost at security checkpoints, in immigration and customs areas, in airline lounges, or items left on an airplane.

Items Lost at Security Checkpoint Areas

For items lost at TSA security checkpoints, please contact the TSA directly at +1-206-787-5312.

Items Lost in Other Areas

For items lost in parking areas, rental car facilities, shuttle buses, and similar areas that are not located inside the airport, you should also contact the Lost and Found Department.

Items Lost on the Plane

If you believe you have left an item on the aircraft after your flight, you have several options to recover it. You may return to the gate where your flight arrived, as sometimes items are found during the cleaning process and left there. If the gate is no longer accessible, try visiting the lost and found desk at the airport, if one is available.

Another option is to go to the luggage or baggage services desk for your airline, which is typically located in the baggage claim area. They often handle lost and found items from flights. If these methods are unsuccessful, you should contact your airline directly as a last resort. Most airlines have procedures in place for dealing with lost items on their aircraft.

Lost Checked Baggage

If your checked bag does not appear in the baggage claim area within a reasonable amount of time, you should first contact the baggage services desk for your airline. They can assist in locating your bag or filing a claim for lost luggage.

How to File a Report

To file a lost item report, you can use the online form. 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. The airport does not charge to file a lost property report.

Collection, Delivery, and Charges

Once your lost item has been located, you will be notified via email or phone call. You may collect the item from the Lost and Found Department or opt for FedEx shipping options provided through the online lost property reporting system. Please note that there may be charges associated with the FedEx shipping service.

Special Considerations

For sensitive items like passports or electronics, the Lost and Found Department uses a software solution to assist in identifying the owners. Please be aware that there has been an increase in unverified third-party websites charging a fee to retrieve a lost item. Always file a lost property report directly through the airport's Lost and Found Office to avoid unauthorized charges.
