If that's the case, then I believe you'll be protected on the outbound as long as you arrive in good time at YVR, so any delays YVR-LHR become BA's problem but your inconvenience. For the return as long as you're at Milan in good time for that flight, they will be obliged to get you to YVR even if the Milan-LHR is delayed. Conversely, should you not present yourself for the Milan flight, your return would become your problem, not BA's.
Key thing is to be there at check-in at YVR on outbound and Milan on return at designated times.
Yes that is precisely it. My concern is the fact that in the multi-city booking option when adding the flights I can't search for flights YVR-BCN but need to search separately for YVR-LHR and LHR-BCN (same issue on return from Milan). I just want to make sure I'd be protected at the Heathrow connections (makes sense that I wouldn't be in between BCN and Milan).
