When you fly into Tucson International Airport, you are landing just 8 miles south of downtown Tucson in Pima County, Arizona. As the second busiest airport in the state, this primary commercial facility plays a key role as a regional small hub, serving nearly two million enplaned passengers each year with convenient domestic and international connections.
Navigating your way around the airport is straightforward, as everything is centered within a single main terminal building shaped like a wide X. The facility is split across three levels, housing baggage claim on the ground floor, ticketing and gates on the upper level, and administrative and meeting rooms on the third level.
You will find three concourses servicing flights across the complex. Concourses A and B are located directly inside the main terminal structure, while Concourse C sits in a separate building just to the west. Both main concourses offer you food, shopping, charging stations, and free wireless internet while you wait.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at TUS
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.
