Transiting through Heathrow on separate tickets
I will be travelling from Belgrade (BEG) to London (LHR) on Air Serbia and then from LHR to Toronto (YYZ) on Air Canada on separate tickets. Both of the flights arrive at/leave from the same terminal (T2) at LHR and I will have only a cabin bag and no check in bags. I am a Canadian permanent resident (Indian passport and a Canadian PR card) and as such I believe I will not require a visa to transit (checked at https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa). My questions are:
- Will I be able to use the flights connections route (and hence not have to go through immigration again) given that I have only hand baggage but considering that both the journeys are on separate tickets?
- Will Air Serbia let me board at Belgrade given that I hold no visa for the UK and for them UK will be my destination? I can show them a confirmed ticket for Air Canada and a boarding pass from Air Canada too (if I am able to check in online and generate a boarding pass online)
PS: I know this may have been answered several times before but just checking if anyone has any experience with Air Serbia. Thank you very much in advance.
