Lost & Found
Lost something at Punta Gorda 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.
Left somewhere in the airport (not at security)
Airport Lost and Found
941-639-1101Location: For items lost in the terminal building (arrivals, departures, gate areas, restrooms) or the parking lot, submit the Charlotte County Airport Authority's online report form. Items lost specifically at the TSA security checkpoint are handled separately by the checkpoint's screening contractor, Aviation Security Management (ASM), via its own online form (email PGD@a-s-mgmt.com for checkpoint items).
Hours: Monitored Monday–Friday, 8am–4:30pm, excluding holidays

TSA Lost Property
1-866-289-9673Note: PGD's checkpoint is run by a private screening contractor (Aviation Security Management) under TSA's Screening Partnership Program, so checkpoint items go through ASM's own lost-and-found process (PGD@a-s-mgmt.com) — the national TSA line above is a fallback if ASM can't locate your item.

Pro Tip
PGD is a small single-terminal airport, so lost items are usually easy to track down — call the main airport line (941-639-1101) or submit the online ChargerBack form promptly. If you lost something at the security checkpoint specifically, use Aviation Security Management's separate lost-and-found process rather than the general airport one.
How long does PGD 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 PGD?
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 PGD?
Yes — PGD has an online lost item report form. Filing online is recommended as written claims are typically processed faster than phone reports alone.
