Great fare, thanks!
Managed to book HEL-AMS-CDG-IAD, DCA-LGA the following morning, and return LGA-ORD-AMS-HEL for 910 euro directly on KLM website, close to 20 000 FB miles. AF new 777 from CDG and KLM's 747 from Chicago.
If you play with KLM's multi-city engine you can get some interesting routings; on the return leg NYC-HEL I was able to go back as far as Kansas and then through MSP to Europe for over 21 000 miles, 8 qualifying flights.
I noticed that Atlanta, MSP, Charlotte, Miami and few others also work, either outbound or return. And obviously Boston for the lowest price. Those counting qualifying flights need to make sure they avoid Finnair connection to CDG, no FB level miles here!
Thanks again!

How? It shows I need to call now, instead of booking on the website.
Still works on the Delta site I find now.

Well, yes, you can. Do not use Google flights, just play with KLM website (multicity option). The engine is temperemtal, and sometimes requires different browsers but results produced are of the kind that cannot be found on google flights or elsewhere.

I used Google Flights last night to search. Via KLM the prices are fixed (I still saw the low price in the engine, but when clicking on certain specific dates/times, the correct p rice would show again

You can do some pretty wild routings with this one if you play around with ITA. For €997 you can book HEL-AMS-LHR-DTW-BNA-LGA-ATL-CDG-AMS-HEL for 19,622 MQM on Delta. That's 5.3cpm!
