UK Airport Helps Travellers with Hidden Disabilities

Before you go to the airport, you can get a special lanyard for extra help.

A UK airport is helping travellers by giving them advice before their trip.

Manchester Airport reminds passengers with hidden disabilities that they can wear a Sunflower lanyard for extra help. The lanyard tells staff that the wearer may need more time or patience.

Manchester Airport says the Sunflower lanyard gives access to all security lanes.

All security lanes have new screening that is quicker and more customer-friendly. Staff have training to help people with hidden disabilities.

Make sure you arrive at the airport on time with a valid passport.

You can get a lanyard at Manchester Airport's Assistance Reception areas.

The airport will give you a lanyard even if you don't need help. You can use your own lanyard if you have one, but they can't send it to you before your trip.

Some disabilities are not easy to see, and this can make it hard for people to understand that someone needs help.

Some people don't believe you have a disability if you don't look like you do.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower helps people understand and accept hidden disabilities. It's a way for you to tell others that you have a hidden disability.

Wearing the Sunflower lanyard tells people that you might need extra help or time.

The Sunflower lanyard is used in many countries, including the UK, Australia, and the USA. You can find out where it's used near you on the Sunflower map.
