Many airlines do not have multi-city, open jaw (where you skip a connection as you drive or cruise to next departure point), or stop overs. They do ‘simple’ connections. This is especially true for LCC’s - low cost carriers.
Most OTA’s are similar to the airlines and do not have the logic to construct the fares for the complicated flight combinations, and have the ability to price/book the itinerary as a single ticket. This task requires some pretty heavy programming as the variables are huge on airlines, routes, and combination rules.
Some OTA’s price the attempt by simply adding a group of single flights together… which works but generally costs much more than a single basis fare for the same itinerary.
