[quote=GUESTCHINA PHRASES,697069]If you left an item at Beijing Capital Airport, start with the airport service hotline, +86-10-96158, and select Lost and Found, or ask at a Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 Passenger Service Center. Beijing's official English portal gives these routes. This note concerns Capital (PEK), not Daxing (PKX); check the airport name before contacting anyone.

Prepare a short description before the call: the item and a distinguishing feature, the terminal, the approximate time, and where you last remember having it. Separate what you know from what you only suspect. "Possibly near security" is more useful than claiming a definite location you cannot confirm.

Useful Chinese examples to show staff:

我可能把一个黑色背包落在三号航站楼了。
I may have left a black backpack in Terminal 3.

我最后看到它的时间大约是下午两点。
I last saw it at about 2 pm.

请问，应该联系哪个失物招领服务点？
Which lost-and-found service point should I contact?

Replace the example item, terminal and time with your own details. These sentences do not mean an item has been located.

When someone replies, clarify whether they have a possible match or a confirmed match. Ask which details they need to establish ownership, and request collection instructions in writing:

请把领取地点、时间和需要的材料写下来。
Please write down the collection location, time and required documents.

Give ownership evidence through the official service's private channel, not in a public forum. Do not post passport pages, booking codes or your personal phone number here. If your checked bag did not arrive, explain that specifically to airport or airline staff instead of describing it as an item left in the terminal.

The source covers security-item storage as well as lost property. Its storage periods should not be treated as a promise about how long every lost item is retained. Confirm the arrangement for your item with staff.
