Transit through Heathrow on separate tickets?

Transit through Heathrow on separate tickets? - Through glass of anonymous tourists in warm outerwear standing in waiting room of modern railway station

I will be transiting through Heathrow coming from Frankfurt, connecting to Dubai soon. Those flights are on seperate tickets with hours of connecting times inbetween. I will only be carrying hand luggage with me and will have all my boarding passes on my phone.

Do I need to clear customs / go through immigration or can I just connect without leaving the passengers-only zone? Would appreciate your help!

Greetings, Robin

Do you need another ticket for connecting flight?

Do I need a boarding pass for a connecting flight? Yes. You'll probably get all boarding passes at once when you check in for your first flight, whether you check in online, on your smartphone, or at the airport.

Are connecting flights on one ticket?

Fly on a single ticket when you need to connect flightsTypically, any connecting itinerary you arrange on a single ticket conforms with whatever connecting times apply. That's true even on tickets that involve two airlines, as long as those airlines have interline agreements.

Do I have to go through customs at Heathrow for a connecting flight?

Unfortunately it's not possible for you to go through customs and passport control to meet the person transferring flights unless you're also checked-in for a flight leaving that airport terminal that day.

Do I need a Covid test to transit through Heathrow?

Transiting passengers If you are transiting through Heathrow ('airside' or 'landside'), you do not need to quarantine or take any pre-departure or post-arrival COVID-19 tests.
