As the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) sees millions of travelers pass through its terminals each year. With that volume, personal items are sometimes left behind during check-in, security screening, connections, or arrival.
If you’ve lost or found an item at ATL Airport, submitting a lost and found report promptly is the most efficient way to begin the recovery process.
Reporting Lost or Found Items at ATL
You may file a report for items that were:
-
Lost or found inside ATL terminals
-
Misplaced anywhere on airport property
-
Left behind within the last 30 days
Include clear details such as the terminal or concourse, date, time window, and a description of the item. Photos or identifying features can help speed up matching.
Important: Items left onboard an aircraft must be reported directly to the airline, as airlines manage inflight lost property independently from the airport.
Special Situations
-
Security checkpoint items: Belongings left at TSA screening areas should be reported to TSA Lost and Found.
-
Passports & travel documents: Lost passports or visas should be reported immediately to the issuing authority or appropriate government agency.
