The BA warning email about the arrival experience at MAN appears to have been tweaked since I last travelled that way a few weeks back. There is now an estimate of how long it may take from the Gate to baggage hall though I note it doesn’t warn that you might have a similar time from touchdown to the gate. Appreciate it may have been around a while but it’s the first time I’ve seen it.

“We’re looking forward to flying you to Manchester.

We want to make sure you’re aware that your experience arriving into the terminal building will be different from what you’d normally expect. Manchester Airport is undergoing a major £1bn investment programme. British Airways now operates from the new Terminal 2. While work to upgrade Departures is complete, work is now underway on the Arrivals section of the terminal, which will affect your arrival. We’ll need you to bear with us.

Your aircraft will park away from the terminal building, and customers will be taken by bus to the terminal. Disembarkation will require the use of stairs. If you need extra assistance, please let us know now and no later than 48 hours before departure – at ba.com/managemybooking.

From your aircraft arrival at the gate to reaching the baggage hall may take approximately 20 minutes, so please allow extra time when arranging onward travel. This temporary arrival process will remain in place until works are completed.

We’re looking forward to offering you the full experience at our home terminal in Manchester in due course.

Thank you for your understanding.

Warm regards

British Airways’
