Not so for a TA who charges you a fee which may be well worth it.
I've tried this with A3 a few times (years ago), they absolutely refuse to join PNRs after booking saying that their system will not allow issuing two different tickets on the same PNR and neither joining after issue will work. They told me that this could only be done in the first years of A3's existence due to a different booking system. Is the above true? No idea, perhaps they simply don't want to do it...
