[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just did this and got the ETA visa and tbh am not sure whether they looked it up or not?  I was transferring from terminal 5 to 3 (or maybe the reverse) from a VA flight to a BA flight booked on different tickets.  Didn't check bags.  Did have to go through security again.  It was not clear to me before leaving whether I needed the visa or not, and I have no idea whether the fact that I got us all the visas (4 travellers) was somehow apparent when they scanned our passports or not.  Sorry this is totally unhelpful OP but figured it's sort of a data point.[/quote]

Same situation here- we were told we needed to have it just to transfer through, but who knows.  It's confusing.[/quote]

Yes if on separate tickets, Virgin would require the ETA, because they have no evidence on their side of you transferring to another flight that is leaving the UK.  If you were checking a bag, you would be required to go through the UK border control and get your checked bags, because again on separate tickets Virgin wouldn't have a way to check your bag through.
