Actually, it is against the rules to do so on many airlines. You can not in your example use two round trip tickets from LAX to LHR and another from LHR to BCN on the same airline to save money on a LAX to BCN ticket. It's against most airline's rules to do so, which is why, if you are going to do it, you should do it on different airlines.

You're kidding?
I do this all the time, on the same airline. I collect my luggage in LHR, and then check in again for BCN. I even tell the agent at LAX that I'm doing it (when they ask what my final destination is, I explain what I'm doing).
Never knew it wasn't allowed... of course, now that I do, it won't deter me from it in the future. What a stupid rule...
