Located in Boone County, Kentucky, near Hebron, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) covers 7,000 acres as the primary commercial airport for the Cincinnati tri-state area. Classified by the FAA as a medium-hub primary commercial facility, it handles passenger service to over 50 destinations across North America and Europe while standing as one of North America's fastest-growing cargo gateways.
The airport layout is streamlined into a single main terminal building connected to two island concourses, housing 51 gates in total. You can move between the terminal and the concourses using an underground moving walkway and people mover system. Concourse A features 23 gates for non-Delta carriers, while Concourse B holds 28 gates for Delta operations and handles non-precleared international arrivals.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at CVG
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
