Lost something at San José Mineta Airport ? Whether you were here on Silicon Valley business or just passing through, this page explains how to report your lost item(s).
About San José Mineta International Airport
San José Mineta International Airport (airport code SJC) sits about 5.5 kilometres northwest of downtown San Jose, California, at the centre of the Silicon Valley tech corridor. It works from Terminal A and Terminal B, joined by a walkway inside security. The largest carriers are Southwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines, alongside Delta and other domestic operators serving the South Bay.
The airport is connected to San Jose by VTA light rail and bus routes, including a free airport shuttle to the nearest station.
The 60-Day Holding Window
San José Mineta holds recovered items for 60 days before they are donated or disposed of, which is a longer grace period than many US airports offer. If you are following up from out of town, and in a region full of business travellers many people are, that extra time is genuinely useful : it gives you room to arrange a collection or a courier without racing a 30-day clock. It is still worth acting promptly for anything valuable, but you are not likely to lose the item simply because you could not get back within a fortnight.
Reporting a Lost Item at San José Mineta Airport
The lost and found office sits between Terminal A and Terminal B. Visit in person while you are at the airport, or open a report by phone or through our platform afterwards, naming the terminal and describing the item.
