Tom,
United has been flying their Polaris Class lay flat seating equipped 777's from both LAX and SFO to HNL for some time now.
I prefer the Polaris Class seating - its 1-2-1 layout versus their old First Class lay flat seating layout of 2-4-2 as well as in the Polaris Class all seats are forward facing versus the old 1st Class of alternate forward/backward seating. Although the times I did fly in United 1st sitting backwards - it was only really noticeable during taxi and takeoff.
The Polaris Class is very comfy and private - if traveling alone, get a window seat - if as a couple the center two!
I know, United is a love it or hate it airline, but for dozens of reasons - my husband and I are valued customers!
My understanding is Hawaiian is going to fly the HNL-SFO route with their new 787 through May - then shift to alternating between LAX and PHX.
For how long and thereafter - nothing disclosed that I am aware of! Interesting that they flew it to Brisbane the other day.
