Separate tickets: if you miss the long-haul, you rebuy. No airline protection across the airport change.
BoardClear Routes is planning guidance, not a booking engine. Schedules and fares change; always confirm on the airline or OTA before you pay. Self-transfers require you to clear immigration/security and reclaim bags when tickets are separate.
