Or is this mandraulic to plan, and requires talking to a human to book? And would such a human give one grief?
You can (could?) use the old version of Matrix ITA along with an add-on mentioned here:

to look up some fairly unattractive routings, and then link to the AC site to book them. The discussion on how-to is in that thread.

I used it to book a segment run for last month. Worked fine.
Don't know about lounges, etc.
