We will have only carry-on bags.
We have two questions:
1) What are our options for an arrival shower in MAN? We land at 0840 and depart at 1040.
2) What lounge access do we have that would make the most sense? I believe our PHL flight lands at Terminal 2 and the BRU flight departs at Terminal 3. How do we make this transfer? We will be flying US Airways Envoy class, I am a US Platinum, my wife a US Chairman, and I also have SAS Eurobonus Gold status. I have a DinersClub and She an AmexPlatinum with Priority Pass.
Best regards,

There is no arrival lounge in MAN but I understand Envoy passengers are given a
voucher to use shower facilities at the Radisson Blu which is adjacent to T2. You'll have to clear passport control to go landside if you want to use shower facilities.
T2 to T1 are connected by a walkway but in order to go to T3 (although it's joined to T1) you'll have to go outside and follow the path. Allow 10 minutes from T2 to T3. The route is reasonably well sign-posted.
If you don't want to clear passport control to enter the UK, I think there's a bus service for transfer passengers but I have no personal experience. Follow the signs for Transfer. You may have to wait for someone to come and escort you.
I'm not quite sure about lounge access in T3 following the closure of the BMI lounge, though SN was using the Flybe lounge a couple of years ago even though the BMI lounge was available. There are no shower facilities in T3 lounges.
