Transfer T2 to T3

[Alanatabz]

Hi. I am arriving into T2 at Manchester, I then need to transfer to T3.

If I have hand luggage only can this transfer be done airside?

If I have a checked in case with a different airline that will be a hand luggage only the next airline can I collect at the carousel and transfer or do I need to go to into arrivals then walk to T3 and go back through security?

What’s quickest way to transfer?

Can't be done airside
Must go Immigration-Collect bags - Walk to 3 (1) departures about 10-20 mins depending on age, fitness, size and moving walkways
Must say from recent trips I've done Manchester immigration T2 must be quickest I've seen in recent months, better and quicker than Heathrow and Gatwick

Same if no checked bags by the way.

are the airside shuttles between terminals no more then?

I suspect that your information @KARFA may be out of date as it refers to British Airways and Loganair being in T3.

A search that I did just a few minutes ago, produced this page - if you click on the image it does become legible.

Obviously I may have taken a wrong turning as I'm only human.

i think just to clarify , its information on the MAN website, not my information.

I did see the page you posted a screenshot of, but for an airport that has gone to great efforts to try and pretend to be a connection hub with staffed airside connection points, the lack of information on that page is frankly laughable. I assumed that there had to be some more detail somewhere, which is why I found the page I posted. It may well be out of date, but there is hardly anything useful which is newer. The airside buses between terminals did exist in recent history - so as I asked have they now been removed?

The OP's question is pretty basic, and it is a joke that none of us can find any clear information on the MAN website to give an accurate answer.

@KARFA many thanks for your reply and I can fully understand your confusion - and mine as well!!
I have emailed a contact of mine within the airport Press Office and asked for clarification. Hopefully we will get an answer within the next 24 hours and will then know what facility (or not) the airport offers.

 

[KARFA]

Thank you. If not, then that page should be clearer and explicitly state that there is no airside inter-terminal connection route. Any inter-terminal connections require you to exit landside on arrival (thro passport control if applicable), and make your way to the onward terminal.

Unfortunately my contact within the Press Office is on annual leave, however I am hoping that another person may be able to provide a response! Fingers crossed.
