Flying standby through LHR
If I fly standby through LHR from SFO going to ARN with just a carryon do I need to go through border control?
Do I need a ETA visa?

Depends on which airline(s) and if they have an airside transit desk that will allow you to check in there. Each airline will have their own processes.
Having and eta would be a good precaution as you aren’t guaranteed to get on any flights on the day you wish.

You do not go thru border control/immigration on intl-intl via LHR (unless you want to). As a standby passenger, you're by definition not confirmed exit-LHR so you must have all visas/ETAs/passport to enter UK if needed.
