If you are flying Y, BCN-LHR to connect to LHR-LAX in C, I should think you would have no probs checking in at C at BCN. I would certainly try if there is a queue at Y. If you smile nicely they might even let use use the lounge in BCN although that is much more problematic.

However, the OP is not travelling business class on LHR-LAX so this is not a possibility.
