Important Information

Please note that not all items found within the terminal will be logged or stored. Perishable items, including food, beverages, liquids and their containers, as well as items that may pose hygiene concerns, will generally be disposed of within 48 hours and may not be recorded in the Lost Property system.

When submitting a lost property report, please provide a detailed description of the outside of the item you have lost. For example, include the brand, colour, size and any other distinguishing features of a handbag, suitcase, laptop bag, or similar item.

To protect the privacy and security of our passengers and staff, we do not open or inspect the contents of bags, luggage, handbags, laptop bags or other personal belongings when attempting to identify an owner. Accurate external descriptions assist us in matching found items with lost property reports.
