It’s often unusually difficult to track down phone numbers for specific airline departments. Sifting through page after page of web information and attempting to find the right contact can be frustrating, not to mention a waste of time.
That’s why Upgraded Points has done the tedious research for you.
We’ve listed the most useful U.S.-based numbers (at least those that the airlines publicize) for many of the major airlines below. Additionally, we’ve added some general resources at the end of the post, so be sure to check them out.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has a toll-free hotline for travelers with disabilities: 1-800-778-4838/1-800-455-9880 (TTY/TDD).
Available 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (EST), Monday through Friday, the hotline aims to:
For issues with delayed/lost baggage, it is imperative to speak with a baggage claim assistant prior to leaving your arrival airport. This will ensure a PIR is made (Property Irregularity Report). Without this report, most airlines cannot begin looking for your bag, nor can they be held responsible for the bags in question.
If you’ve left something at a TSA Security Checkpoint, try the TSA Hotline phone number: 1-866-289-9673.
AirportLostAndFound.com is a global lost and found cloud database. Their public database claims to feature lost property listings from over 10,000 major airports and airlines around the globe. It’s worth checking out if you’re having difficulties recovering an item through your specific airline.
Each airline has a number of different ways you can get in touch — from phone numbers for Reservations to social media channels to Lost and Found. Having these numbers and methods of contact handy will make contacting these airlines a much easier experience, especially when you need help fast.
If you’re hearing or speech impaired, many airlines may have a dedicated line, or extension that you can dial to receive the assistance you need. Additionally, you could dial 711 for TTY or contact the airline via email depending on how pressing your question is.
You can speak to American Airlines reservations by dialing 1-800-433-7300.
Delta’s reservation department can be contacted at 1-800-221-1212.
Most airlines themselves have reservation departments, and this is usually the best place to start if you need to purchase an airline ticket.
