Seeing that the only difference between the Visit North America Pass is the inclusion of CATHAY PACIFIC for the JFK-YVR-JFK route, I would highly recommend the other pass... AMERICAN AIRLINES' VUSA pass which are restricted to AA flights only, and are sold as per coupon instead of mileage.

Travel on AA only and booked in M class. I can't tell you what the fares are today.. but about 3 years ago, they were something like $499 for 3 sectors/coupons. Hawaii/Mexico/Caribbean can be included for $199 for 2 extra coupons. You'd have to call an AA office OUTSIDE of NORTH AMERICA to get the current fares.
