Pro Tip

FAR is a small airport with one Information Center handling lost & found rather than a large dedicated department — submit the online terminal lost-and-found form or call (701) 241-8168 directly, and follow up by phone since a small staff processes claims manually. Go straight to your airline instead if the item was lost on board or in checked baggage.
