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 (801) 852-6715 or go to Airport Offices, second floor — items found at the security checkpoint and other public areas are brought here.
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

PVU discards food items, drink containers, neck pillows, and soiled clothing at the end of the same business day for health and safety reasons, and all other unclaimed items are disposed of or donated after 30 days per city ordinance — call as soon as you notice something missing, and remember the airport office is closed Friday through Sunday.

Frequently asked questions

How long does PVU 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 PVU?

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 PVU?

PVU does not currently list a standalone online lost item report form. Call (801) 852-6715 to file by phone or visit Airport Offices, second floor — items found at the security checkpoint and other public areas are brought here in person.
