This is a very good point and worth highlighting.
I booked YYz-SCL-COR on a 3rd party website because AC wouldnt return anything for YYZ-COR
YYZ-SCL was $1400, SCL-COR on LAN was $400 r/t. I booked on a 3rd party website because I wanted YYZ-SCL-COR on one PNR. Price was simply the sum of the 2 tickts + $15 fee.
Happen to be talking to an AC agent and she asked me why I hadnt booked with them directly. Told her I didnt think she could book non *A. She told me not only that she could but I would have also saved the booking fee.

Lesson learned
