How do I find lost and found at ATL?
Items lost on aircraft go to the operating airline. Items lost in the airport itself go to ATL Airport Lost & Found at 404-209-2095.
Lost items at Hartsfield-Jackson are handled differently depending on where they were lost. Items lost on board an aircraft are the responsibility of the operating airline — contact the airline directly for items left on planes.
Items lost in the airport itself (gate areas, security checkpoints, terminals, public spaces) are turned in to ATL Airport Lost & Found, located at the Domestic Terminal lower level. Reach Lost & Found at 404-209-2095 (Monday–Sunday 8 a.m.–8 p.m.) or by submitting a lost item report at the airport's website (atl.com).
TSA-related lost items (items left at security checkpoints) are held by TSA for a brief period (typically 30 days) and then disposed of or turned over to local lost-and-found programs. Contact TSA directly at 866-289-9673 for items lost at security checkpoints.
Most major airlines have online lost-item portals. Delta, American, United, Southwest, and JetBlue all offer self-service lost-item submission via their websites. Response times typically run 5–14 days; matching items can be shipped to you for a fee.
