AN urgent appeal has gone out to find the owner of “several thousand” euros left at Southampton Airport.

The bundle of cash was found by staff and is being kept in a safe in the hope that the person who lost it will come forward.

If the owner does not come forward by the end of January the money will be donated to charity.

Anyone claiming the cash must tell airport bosses how much they lost, the date they travelled, the details of their flight and the denomination of the notes.

Neil Garwood, head of Customer Service, said: “We will always do everything we can to reunite passengers with lost items and we were sure that we would get a call about this money, but no one has made contact yet.”

Anyone who thinks that this money is theirs should email southamptonfeedback@ baa.com.
