27 dec KOA LAX (DL2441)
02 Jan 2018 LAX LHR (VS24)
As we wanted to go to KOA and not HNL, we had to settle for the recliner type first class (but delta have fitted out all these aircraft with the newest seats + wifi ETC). Had we chosen to stop over in HNL or just go there instead of KOA, then you can select the flat bed product on delta as well as american.
On this date, american didn't have 3 seats at the fare that we booked so we booked virgin instead. This fare was available on american as well as BA. I am not a fan of BA and actively avoid using them, but if you want silver on BA, then that is the way to go.
Virgin atlantic's seats are not as good as american's new 777-300 seats, but we have never tried their clubhouse before (apparently rivals many first class lounges) and this is the new 787 with the newest seats. Plus we get chauffeur service as well (that is easily worth a total saving of £300 where we stay in UK and LA) so thought why not. And the service will definitely be much better than american.
a quick check on google flights shows the fare as 2274 now on all carriers.
