Tips On Using Airport Lost And Found

By Amanda Baird


A vacation ought to be a happy time. If you are travelling for business purposes there are more important things than worrying about missing items. This is why you need to know how to use an airport lost and found in the event of anything going missing.

In simple terms this is where you need to go if you lose something you want to reclaim. It does not necessarily have to be something valuable. Often people go back because there is something of sentimental value or it is something that they do not want to replace. Whatever the reason you need to be prepared in case something does go missing.

Another thing to be aware of are operating hours. This will vary depending on the airport with some having fewer than others. Ideally you should check this before

For example there are a lot of cellular phones that look similar. A blue one is likely to look similar to another blue one. However if the case has a cartoon character on it or stickers then it is likely to stand out from the other phones that have been handed in so these are the kind of details to remember.

However there is the problem that you may not realise that something is lost until you get home. Fortunately you do not need to be physically there in order to enquire about reclaiming items. At the very least you should be able to call someone so that they can check to see if anything has come in.

You can then enquire about what has arrived and whether or not the item is one that you own. As with a meeting in person you need to give them as many details as possible in order to ensure that this is something you own. It may sound obvious but it is important that people know that your inquiry is genuine and that you are legitimately claiming an item. For example if there is a specific dent on the screen or some kind of identifying mark that can help.

Some will be more efficient than others. The more official process centres will give you a tracking number. This will mean that they have a record of your claim and make it easier for them to look out for an item. Remember to keep note of this number as this will help you when contacting them at a later date to find out if the item has been recovered.

It may also be possible to check airport lost and found online. Typically missing items will be placed on the database around 24 to 48 hours after they have been found. Therefore if you cannot find an item it is worth checking again. In short if you can remain calm then it is more likely that you will be able to recover your missing items. Look online for more information so that you can prepare before you travel.
