HOW CAN I GET CONFUSED ITEMS AT THE AIRPORT IN TURKEY?

If you’ve left or lost items at an airport in Turkey, you can follow these steps to recover them:

1. Contact the Lost and Found Office

• Locate the Lost and Found Department: Most Turkish airports have a Lost and Found office that handles misplaced items. This office is usually located within the arrivals area or near security checkpoints.

• Provide Details: Give specific details about the item, including a description, any unique identifiers, the location where it was likely left, and the approximate date and time. Providing a boarding pass or ticket details can also help.

2. Use the Airport’s Official Website or Contact Information

• Online Forms: Many Turkish airports offer online forms or email addresses to report lost items. Check the official website of the airport and look for a "Lost and Found" section.

• Customer Service: If you’re unable to find the Lost and Found contact information online, call the airport’s general customer service line and ask to be directed to the Lost and Found office.

3. Follow Up with Security or Customs Offices if Necessary

• Security Checkpoint Items: Items lost near security checkpoints, such as electronics or personal belongings, may be held by airport security rather than the Lost and Found office.

• Customs: For items left in customs areas, contact the customs office directly within the airport, as they may handle these separately.

4. Visit in Person if Possible

• If you’re still in Turkey or able to return to the airport, a personal visit may expedite the process. Bring identification and any flight-related documents to prove ownership.

5. Check with Airlines for Items Lost Onboard

• If you think you left something on the plane, contact the airline directly. Airlines usually manage their own Lost and Found services for items left onboard and may forward items to the Lost and Found office of the destination airport.

6. Retrieve Items via Shipping or a Proxy

• Arrange for Shipping: If your item is found and you’ve already left Turkey, you can usually arrange for the item to be shipped to you. The Lost and Found office or airport management will provide guidance on this, and you may need to cover shipping fees.

• Authorize a Proxy: Some airports allow a family member or friend to pick up the item on your behalf if you’re no longer in the area. They’ll likely need a letter of authorization and a copy of your ID.

For specific contact numbers and procedures, it’s best to refer directly to the website of the airport where you lost the item (e.g., Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen Airport).
