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... </font>
I do it semi-frequently as well. As diligent as AA is at chasing off people who try to eBay their Kellogg's certs, I would think they'd be all over me like a bad haircut if it were against the rules. If they wanted to get nasty about it, I'd say "Fine. I'll move one of the tickets to UA." Fortunately, they have never said a word about it. It's not back-to-back ticketing, it's not throwaway, it's not hidden-city. Obviously, they are happy to sell me two tickets.
