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

I like the way you think
But no - I seem to remember reading somewhere on FlyerTalk just recently that a surface segment is required to have a flight segment before it and a flight segment after it. (Makes sense to me.)
So a surface segment OVB-DME at the start won't work either

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

IMHO $6100 falls into the "Very Good Deal" category. Last year I happily paid about that for an ex-South Africa DONE5 all-in price
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)

Good. Never mind the WS, then. You're actually flying SAN-DFW-YYC, not SAN-YYC.
Sadly SDandi is not flying anywhere - she missing the boat on the ex-MPM fares
