I'm not a gold member
Did you read the page that I linked to?
I confess, nope...

What do you gain by giving the CSR a hard time? It's not like he can make that kind of change

Huh? Of course he can. I work as a TA myself, and if for some reason I forgot to designate a passenger as a CNN, I would void (within the permissible time frame, of course) and re-issue with the discount. And I expected the same from them.
If a multi million dollar OTA doesn't know how to issue child and infant tickets, there is something seriously wrong....

I think it's generous to refer to them as travel agents

But the ones who built/maintenance their website, most likely aren't and should be fixing this already.....

Made a reservation with vayama on EY.
It's been 3 weeks already, and they still haven't changed my cc.
 I have a eticket number, and confirmation shows valid on EY website.
Life is as good as you make it...

With PL it would be doable online.
With O I've also had to call to cancel.

PL is also cheaper for the NZ deal for example.

For all the EX/O fans here...

DROPR - Totally false. Also cancelable online. Simplist way is to click cancel button from within the email (unless email comes in before ticket numbers came through).
And for the PL fans, why can't PL offer a discount for a child under 12?
Bottom line, each has their own +/-. There's no right or wrong here

Respond to that commenter and see what they say.
Wouldn't be surprised if there was no cancel button.

All PL fans, book a family of 5 children (under 12) with the current sale LAX - TLV and pay $295 more on PL than on the others...

Is there any advantage to booking directly through the airline website and not an OTA?
Do you get the same 24 hour cancellation on aa.com ?

Depends on the airline. Oftentimes better cancellation policy with OTA..

2 that I know off the bat:
AA does not allow free cancellations for travel under 2 days away, while booking on Priceline would allow that.
Jetblue is similar, but their policy is not allowed within 7 days, again Priceline would allow that.

Looks like points can now be used for flights online too (only if the entire cost of the flight can be covered by the points.)
