Do not worry, signage will be in place to help guide you back to your original terminal. 

As a guide, it is about a 15 to 20-minute walk from Terminal 2 to Terminals 1 or 3.

Yes! You can find more details here: https://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/at-the-airport/security-and-immigration/

Assisted Travel 

I have booked Assisted Travel/special assistance - what should I do? 

If you have pre booked assisted travel, head to the reception point in Terminal 2 check-in where ABM staff will be ready to help you through the terminal. 

There are also reception points at the dedicated drop-off area on the forecourt. Just use the intercom to speak to a member of staff. 

Alternatively, you can go straight to the terminal look for the special assistance desk near Zone F at T2 check-in.
