So maybe you can start from somewhere just East of the Urals - in other words in Asian (TC3) Russia? Such as:

Also, I have just remembered this from the fare rules

QF has a codeshare on TN PPT-AKL

So you could fly IPC-PPT-AKL-SYD instead of IPC-SCL-SYD

It does take one extra segment, but you get Tahiti and New Zealand

And as I know, it's hard to find ticket IPC-PPT-AKL for this fare. For example, no tickets for January 2017.

Or maybe I can make KHV-DME surface segment? Is it ok?

An air ticket cannot start or end with a surface sector.

You can always have a KHV-DME flight that is far into the future, to use the next time you go to Moscow?

Yikes! Where are you seeing that it's Westjet? It comes up as operated by AA on the OW booking system and Kayak.

Good. Never mind the WS, then. You're actually flying SAN-DFW-YYC, not SAN-YYC.

The ex-MPM fares fell into the "Excellent Deal" category. IIRC the only other deal to fall into that category was the ex-Sudan fares back in 2012 (I snagged one of them too:))
I've heard there was an excellent ex-Mauritius fare some time back too, but that was before my time here.

I'm sorry you missed out at the last minute SDandi. You were late to the party, but learnt really fast and seemed good to go. I especially liked your finish of CDG-xDOH-SEZ as your way of getting back to Africa:). (I visited SEZ on my way to KRT to start my ex-KRT DONE4 in 2013 - so I've ticked that place off my list already)
