DFW - MIA

LAS-X - YYC

What do you guys think of the domestic routing, any better way to do it?
I think they'll let your wife in.
As to your route, I'm a little unclear of your stopover points, but a couple of things -
LAS-YYC-SFO will require some other airline than AA; most likely Alaska Airlines with a change in SEA in both directions. That would limit your AA segments to 3 - DFW-MIA, MIA-LAX, and SFO-LAX. IIRC 3 is the minimum number of segments you can buy an airpass for; frankly I'd skip it and look for inexpensive over-the-counter flights.
You might look at using Alaska between Florida and Calgary, e.g. MIA-xSEA-YYC, then YYC-xSEA-SFO/LAS/LAX. It might be cheaper, certainly faster, and you'll get full QFF points on AS flights. If you DO stay on AA for MIA-LAX, be sure you take the 777 if traveling in Y - by far superior than any other Y seats in the AA fleet.
