If you want really cheap, try Travelocity.ca - they had flights on Aeroflot via Moscow for just over $1,000 Cdn.
Also look at Emirates out of JFK if you can get there cheap - it's a non-stop flight.
BA is flying from YYZ, through London, which is my fallback at 1200, but Aeroflot was there indeed, I just was not so familar with their service.
I really wish I could capitalize on the 12K miles.
