What to do right now (step by step)

Check with the airline first — items left at gates or on the plane go to the airline, not the airport.
If lost in the terminal: call 406-657-8498 or go to Airport Police office, 2nd floor of the Terminal Building, Room 210.
If lost at the security checkpoint: call TSA at 1-866-289-9673 or file a claim online.

Pro Tip

Items left in public terminal areas go to the Airport Police / Lost and Found office (Room 210); items left on board an aircraft or checked with an airline should be reported to that airline directly, not the airport. BIL is small enough that staff are usually reachable quickly by phone during weekday business hours.
