Looking for cheapest run to CDG from anywhere in America

I need a bit of help here. I gotta be in Paris from May 31st to June 6th. I would like to tie this up with a MR. I usually fly out of YUL, but the fares to Europe are insane.

I'd rather pay a cheap ticket (from my own pocket) to anywhere in America and have the company pay for the trip to Europe.

So far I've found this itinerary below for 651$ :

SFO-LHR Wednesday, May 28, 2003
Lufthansa # 9379 6:55pm
Arrive 1:15pm May 29, 2003

LHR-CDG Thursday May 29, 2003
Lufthansa # 6723 4:00pm
Arrive 6:15pm


CDG-LHR Friday, June 6, 2003
Lufthansa # 6726 9:55pm
Arrive 9:55pm

LHR-SFO Saturday, June 7, 2003
Lufthansa # 9378 9:00am
Arrive 12:00pm

This would net me about 11 000 MP (I still believe in UA!!), plus about 7 000 from YUL to SFO

Can I do better than this for more mileage at about the same price? Any other routing is acceptable and it doesn't need to be SFO as starting point.
