Contacting LHR skyteam lounge directly?
 

Does anyone have any experience recovering a lost item from the skyteam lounge at Heathrow? I have just arrived in Cape Town and discovered that I lost the (white) power cord to my Mac laptop somewhere along the way - most likely the terminal 4 lounge at heathrow or the Air France lounge at CDG near the L gates in 2E. It's obviously far from critical, but if it is one of those places and I could pick it up on my return trip in two weeks it might save me buying a replacement (assuming I end up with a South African cord in the immediate future). It seems like it might be a big hassle to get through to a lounge directly, though, and right at the moment I don't have a reasonable way to make lengthy intl. phone calls from SA...any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Contact the local office of the airline
 

Contact the local office of the airline you used. They will handle. I left a laptop in a SIN lounge and Sing. Air. sent it to me in Abu Dhabi via currier. It came to my hotel rooml

In terms of phone calls, try Skype (assuming you have a reasonable connection). International rates are really reasonable, and calling US 1-800 numbers is free. Might be worth ringing the medallion line back in the US to see if they can intervene on your behalf somehow.

Thanks, both of you! I am dealing with a terrible internet connection at the moment, but managed to get emails off to both delta and air france, as a start. Definitely might try calling if I can get a good enough connection for Skype tomorrow. And I am not sure I can see air France being quite as proactive as Singapore was - but at least it's just a cord, not the actual laptop :)
