Just booked this trip JFK-YVR in H class, going Aug. 27, returning Sept. 2, through CX reservations on the phone and the total was $277 inclusive. Cathay Pacific's USA site gives you K class for $274, which is an excluded class for AA miles, but pretty much all external sites (including AA's site) give you the H fare for this flight, strange... $3 extra to get the miles is most certainly worth it.
