You can fly air canada for $1423 USD from IND on those dates all-in.

AC8024 IND-YYZ (6/12)
AC880 YYZ-CDG (6/12 - arrive 6/13)

AC881 CDG-YYZ (6/20)
AC8025 YYZ-IND (6/20)

Books into N (Tourist Class) - which will earn you 50% EQM on the first flight & 100% on the trans-atlantic flights on UA MP.

AC 777 service is pretty good - I took it earlier this year from YUL to CDG...would be cheaper than buying miles (and using them all up!) and would get you MP EQM too...

Can you book a star alliance reward on AC or another carrier via MP for those dates? I just did a search on aeroplan and I can see a number of Star AC flights available for those dates from IND-CDG but maybe those aren't all available to MP? That would only use 50,000 miles in Y.
