Welcome to iPad Forums !

The iPad Air 2's screen orientation can be locked and unlocked in the Control Centre. To access it, swipe upwards from the bottom. It will look like this:

Tap the red icon to unlock it.

Thank you. You can never be too old to learn(I'm 78).

Hello and welcome to the forum! I too have an iPad Air 2 and occasionally will have a 'frozen screen' orientation that is not corrected by Johanna's recommendation, but try that first! Apparently, this is a known 'glitch' either w/ this device and/or the iOS. For myself (and others if you google the issue), closing the 'smart cover' and reopening may correct the problem; if not, then simply 'Restart' the iPad; if still not effective, then you'll need to do a 'Reset' (i.e. hold down both the HOME and the ON-OFF buttons until the Apple logo appears, then release and allow the iPad to reboot - NONE of your information, data, settings will be lost).
