Is it possible to visit ATL lost and found?
 

I checked the Delta FAQ and didn't find anything on this topic, and did a search

I left my bag at the Popeye's at terminal C and have not had much success finding it with the trackit system.

Has anyone actually visited the ATL lost and found office? Any success in finding your bag?

I have visited the ATL Lost & Found area. This was several years ago, but I'm sure it is in the same location near DL baggage claim. My blazer did not turn up, but there were quite a few items that were being housed there.

A little OT, but I recently saw an episode of "Scrubs" where a doctor is looking for something in the hospital lost and found box, but the janitor has relabeled it "free stuff". I immediately thought of airport/airline/car rental lost and found being just like that. I personally have left a GPS and a fairly expensive pair of sunglasses in rental cars that mysteriously never turned up. I gotta stop giving away my stuff to rental car cleaners...

I was allowed in to the SLC LnF area. Obviously much smaller than ATL but it would lead me to believe it's possible for you to get in to the ATL location.

i visited the *delta* lost and found at atl (left item on plane) and they wouldn't let me in- i had to describe my items, and they went back to look for it. no luck... :(

You'll get to paw through it.... 90 days later when it gets shipped off to one of those unclaimed baggage stores. I think the ATL stuff ends up in Scottsboro, Alabama.

That's right you can get the address here and go buy it back:

And NO they will not let you go to look yourself.

I have gotten a forgotten item back from ATL lost and found and no they won't let you look for it. For very good reason I am guessing, I think some folks when faced with all the forgotten goodies, would remember that they lost those BOSE headphones.

I received a phone call from Delta saying "we have an item that may be yours" giving me the responsibility of describing the item before they retrieved it for me. I was very grateful to get back my glasses that I left behind on the aircraft.

Does AirTran have a lost and found in ATL? Popeyes is in the heart of AirTrain gates.

ATL Delta lost and found is behind the oversize bag carrousel --- against the wall to the left of the doors going out to the taxi stand. You go there to look for things left on planes, or somewhere that a Delta employee might have found your item.

ATL airport lost and found is on the north terminal side of security (past the First Class security line), up an elevator.

In my experience, if you left something on a DL plane, you go to the Delta LNF.

If you left something in the terminal, even perhaps a DL gate, you have to visit both of these LNF's because who knows who (DL employee or airport employee or even another passenger) might have found it and turned it in?

For my friend's lost laptop, of course traipsing to both LNFs multiple times was an futile effort :(

And yes, you have to describe the item to the front person, who will 99% of the time spend a couple minutes in back before coming back and saying "sorry, it's not here".
