Kalispell Airport Lost and Found

Lost something at Glacier Park International Airport? Report it immediately — airport lost and found offices hold items for 30–90 days, but recovery rates drop sharply after the first 24 hours.

TSA only handles items left at the security checkpoint (trays, bins); items lost elsewhere in the terminal go through the airport's own lost-and-found process above.

Note: items left in gate areas may also be held by the airline's gate staff — contact the airline directly for gate-area and on-board lost items.

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 406-257-5994 or go to Administration Office, 3rd floor of the terminal.
If lost at the security checkpoint: call TSA at 1-866-289-9673 or file a claim online.
File an online claim if available — written claims are processed faster and create a searchable paper trail.
Check back in 24–48 hours — items are logged as they come in and may not appear in the system immediately.

Pro Tip

GPI holds unclaimed items for only 60 days before they're discarded or donated, so file a report through the online Boomerang lost-and-found form at iflyglacier.com/lostfound/ or call right away. Note that lost, delayed, or damaged checked baggage is handled exclusively by your airline, not the airport, and keys lost in the parking lots may be held separately by Republic Parking (406-257-6868).

Frequently asked questions

How long does GPI airport keep lost 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.

What if I left something on the plane?

Items left on aircraft go to the airline, not the airport lost and found. Contact the airline directly — each airline has its own baggage service phone number and online claim process.

How do I report a lost item at the TSA checkpoint at GPI?

Call TSA at 1-866-289-9673 or file a claim at tsa.gov/travel/customer-service. Items left at security checkpoints are held for 30 days.

Can I file a lost item report online for GPI?

Yes — GPI has an online lost item report form. Filing online is recommended as written claims are typically processed faster than phone reports alone.
