Our lost property service is provided by Luggage-Point. All items lost in the terminal and on a number of airlines should be brought to Luggage-Point, where they are stored securely and logged into their online Lost Property search engine here. If your item has been left on a plane, it may still be with your airline. Airline contact details are found here.

Repatriation Fee: Each item processed as Lost Property is thoroughly checked and vetted to try and locate contact information for the rightful owner. As a result, a storage and administration charge may apply. Repatriation Options: if an item is claimed, but can’t be collected in person, the following options are available:

  1. Nominated collection – If you can arrange for a friend or relative to pick up your lost item(s), let us know who they are and when they will be arriving. They will also need to provide us with a form of ID (passport/driver’s licence), so that we can authorise the release of your item to that person.

  2. Shipping – If collection can’t be arranged, Luggage-Point can send positively identified item(s) to any address through our Shipping & Courier service. Items can be sent to you, home or abroad, subject to the relevant retrieval charge plus applicable shipping costs.

  3. Storage – If collection and shipping are not the options for you, Luggage-Point can store your lost item(s) in our secure storage facilities for a period of up to 42 days until collection can be arranged.
