I'm planning on buying the RUH-AUH segment with EY since I checked and LH has Interline agreements with this airline. Being two different tickets, will the LH agent at GRU be able to send my bags all the way to AUH? Any experiences with interline bags with two different etickets and airlines?

My biggest concern is the VISA at RUH. If I have to collect my bags at that airport I'm afraid I might not be able to leave the transit area.
Worst case scenario I'll just bring two carry-ons instead of a checked bag, but the latter would be more comfortable ofc.

Also, would it change if the RUH-AUH ticket is bought with EY or another airline (if its always operated by EY)?

I cannot answer your question about interlining bags but if you have a ticket to RUH and don’t have a visa to enter Saudi Arabia it is unlikely that LH will let you board a flight either at GRU or FRA.
