Thanks for that, but precisely, I'm asking this question because the Carribean Explorer of AA/American Eagle is mentioned in this web page but I could not find any information on it. :-)

About the North America pass, it might be indeed interesting, as I will be jumping to a one or more islands, spend some time there sailing and then taking flight back from another island. But I wanted to compare with this supposed 'carribean explorer'.

Also..as we're talking about passes.. I will probably take a South Pacific pass and if I take this North America pass...I'm curious about one rule:

"Only available to residents of the country of sale outside North America, when booked prior to departure at country of origin. This fare must be booked in conjunction with return travel to North America on specified airline carriers "

If I understand correctly it means that I cannot book this once I arrive in North America ? (that is 10-11 months after my departure from my country of origin). Seems weird. Is that really that 'strict' or can I'm come and anytime and say 'hey, I want to buy a South Pacific pass once I'm in Bali and a visit North America pass once I'm in Miami ?
