If you've realized that you left behind some of your personal belongings on one of Turkish Airlines planes right after disembarking, here are the steps to help you find and recover your lost items:
All the personal items passengers leave on planes or in their lounges are documented and taken into their records. However, any financial losses incurred due to forgotten belongings are the responsibility of the passengers.
To inquire about your lost items and potentially retrieve them, visit Turkish Airlines’s "baggage disruption notification and tracking" page on their website. Here, you can fill out a form and get in touch with their team.
To assist in identifying your lost belongings, it is highly recommended to provide a photo of the item if available.
You can collect your items from their airport offices or you can ask the company to send your belongings to you via courier, provided that you accept both the legal and material responsibility associated with this process.
It is crucial to act promptly and provide all necessary information when contacting the airlines to increase the likelihood of successfully locating and retrieving your forgotten belongings.
