Call Customer Service at 609-573-4725 as soon as you notice something missing, and if the item was left near a gate or on board, contact your airline directly (American Airlines, Allegiant Air, or Breeze Airways) since the airport does not hold airline-side items.

Most airports hold unclaimed items for 30–90 days before donating or auctioning them. File your claim as quickly as possible to maximize recovery chances.
