Transferring in AUH
I am flying LHR - AUH and AUH - LHR on BA on one booking and traveling onwards (AUH - MCT - AUH) in between, on a separate booking on Emirates. Does anyone here know if is possible to stay airside, in AUH, and therefore not go through immigration and the visa process?
I will have a case (not sure if through checking can be done on two different bookings...)

Will you have checked baggage?

According to their website, you will need to exit and check-in your bags as usual in the departure area.

It will be Etihad.
