Monterey Regional Airport Airport Services

Lost and Found

Customers who dropped personal belongings at the airport can inquire to different lost and found departments, depending on the location where the item was last seen.

Items Left on an Aircraft

Personal possessions left on board an aircraft are maintained and stored by the specific air carrier. Those items are not submitted to MRY Lost and Found. Passengers should contact the relevant airline to determine if the lost thing is in their possession.

Items Left in Public Areas

The Monterey Regional Airport Lost and found can be found on the second floor of the terminal building in the Administration Offices. The working hours are from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. The Lost and Found team will keep all items found in public areas, including the terminal building, TSA security checkpoints, parking lots, gate areas, and curbside. The staff will make every effort to research and find potential owners.

However, the airport does not take custody of items lost onboard aircraft (see above) or in vehicles such as taxis, rental cars, or ridesharing vehicles.

For items lost in public areas, travelers should call (831) 648-7000. If the call is not answered, customers should leave a detailed message by providing information about their name and contacts as well as a description of the item and details regarding location and approximate time when the item was dropped.

Arranging for the return of items

On-site pick-up: If passengers correctly identify items, they may pick them up during regular operating hours. The department requires a picture I.D. at the time of pick up. Representatives of the owners are permitted to pick up items with proper identification and verified permission of owners.

Delivery by mail: With a FedEx or UPS account, the Lost and Found Office can arrange items for shipment Monday - Friday before 3:00 pm.
