About Sacramento International Airport

Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is the main commercial airport serving Sacramento, California, and the greater Central Valley region. Located approximately 16 kilometers northwest of downtown Sacramento, the airport is owned and operated by Sacramento County and handles around six million passengers annually. SMF was significantly expanded with the opening of Terminal B in 2011, an award-winning facility known for its sustainable design and natural lighting.

The airport is served by Southwest, Delta, American, United, Alaska, Spirit, and Frontier, connecting the state capital to major domestic hubs and a small number of international routes. Sacramento serves as the gateway for visitors to the Sacramento region, Napa and Sonoma wine country, Lake Tahoe, and the Sierra Nevada foothills, as well as state government employees and business travellers. The airport operates an online lost property reporting system through Sacramento County.

What Should You Do If You’ve Lost Something at SMF ?

If you notice the loss while still in the airport, speak to the nearest airport staff member or go to the information desk immediately. Staff can check gate areas and coordinate with security for items left at checkpoints.

Sacramento Airport lost property operates weekday hours only. Items lost over the weekend should be reported online as soon as possible and followed up by phone on Monday.

How to Report a Lost Item at Sacramento Airport

Contact the Sacramento International Airport lost property service during weekday hours, or file an online report through Sacramento County’s airport lost and found portal. Provide the date and time, the specific terminal and gate area, your flight details, and a complete description of the item. Our platform can also assist with report tracking. You can submit a report through our platform, so our team can help you get in contact with the correct lost property office.

Items Lost at Security or on an Aircraft

Items left at a TSA security checkpoint should be reported to TSA separately. For items left on board a Southwest, Delta, American, United, Alaska, or other flight, contact the airline’s baggage services directly. The airport lost property service covers items found within the terminal building.

Common areas at SMF where passengers lose items include TSA lanes in both terminals, gate waiting areas, restaurants and coffee shops, the connector between Terminals A and B, baggage claim carousels, and the parking structure walkway.
