Moving between terminals at MAN (UK)
Hi all,
Not sure if this is the best place to post, but here goes anyway.
Flying HEL-MAN-BHD next week and will be spending 3.5 hours at MAN. Arriving flight and departing flight are both arriving at terminal 3.
I want to wait in a lounge for the duration, but there are no ones that can be paid for in T3. Can I go from T3 to T1 and use a lounge there, or are there security restrictions that prevent me from doing so?
Also, is there an easy way to find out when my flight will be called (in case of delays etc) before leaving the lounge?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

Ive just checked the maps on www.manchesterairport.co.uk and you can only access different terminals after you have gone through security. there is access between T1 and T3 but you will see this on the maps on the website. Hope this helps.

There is a bus airside between T1 and T3 (also to T2); I don't think you can walk from T3 to T1 airside, you would have to clear immigration/customs and go to T1 landside. There aren't many lounges at T1 (2 if I recall correctly) and neither is as good as the BA Terraces lounge in T3. You may find it hard to clear security for the wrong terminal, this varies with the alert level.
