Im heading to USA for some flying. I now How to fill the flight plan when the flight is all IFR or all VFR, but how do you fill Y or Z flight plans in the USA?

Never heard of a Y or Z flight plan in the USA. You can file a domestic flight plan, or now you have the option of filing a standard ICAO flight plan.
Make it simple. Register for free on fltplan.com, and file there.

Why would you want to ? There is no Eurocontrol computer to reject your route and if you need to change the controllers handle it on the fly quite well.

Which I answered in my reply..
Why don't you just file IFR all the way to the destination then just cancel IFR when you deam it nescessary to become VFR?...That is what I do anyway. Or file IFR to VFR on top.......
I can't see an advantage in a composite flight plan. I don't file VFR flight plans if I'm getting Flight Following in the USA, and if the weather becomes IFR and I want to switch, I file on the RT (i.e. "Request IFR to KABC")....
I guess if there is no one to speak to, then I can see a point but that then goes back to my first point....
