# Bags and lost property

Every ORD guide on bags and lost property: 3 guides, each answering one question.

Updated November 3, 2026

Keeping track of what you carry through ORD: leaving a bag between flights, protecting it before check-in, oversized sports equipment, and what to do when a bag does not arrive or you leave something behind. Each guide says who to contact and where, as the airport and airlines publish it.
