OTA for ABJ on ET?

Trying to sort an open-jaw ACC/ABJ on ET, and struggling to find an OTA to book on - expedia/travelocity don't seem to offer ABJ, probably because of potential fraud. I could book on ET but from experience it's a pain as you need to present c/card at checkin and with no checked bags I try to avoid checkin altogether.

Any thoughts/ideas?

EDIT: Was just about to say that Orbitz will do it, but then get:

What's wrong with EK or SA?

Well, apart from the flight timings, I have *G and am zip w Emirates, and coming from LHR going on SAA would mean a truly ridiculous detour. Any chance of a helpful answer ?

Thanks, that works a treat. This trip has been postponed but I'll bookmark that for future reference.

No detour required. SA flies that route with 5th freedom rights

Snarkiness not appreciated.

Sabasi, I was asking about an open jaw ACC/ABJ, not a straight flight ACC-ABJ. My open jaw ticket would start/end in LHR, which would mean a very large detour using SAA. I didn't put that information in my OP as I wasn't asking for routing help, I was asking for ticketing help.

I understand that you feel my 'snarky' response was unwarranted, but I hope in your turn you can understand that I felt your response was not only unhelpful, but was trying to answer a question that I hadn't answered, with incomplete information, and was utterly pointless.

Good for you, ambassador. Was trying to be helpful but obviously didn't understand your actual question.
