I'm gutted about this.
I chose the 283 & 284 especially for the 767. I've just checked my booking and it has indeed changed to a 757 for both legs.
At least I'm still on the upper deck from LHR - LAX in BA's NNGCW.
Ah well, I can't let it spoil my holiday.....
Cheers

In this one way, United is better. Still flying 777 and 767 to HNL ex-SFO and ex-LAX. They have one 757 per day, I think.

Same here. Always tried to get the 63's for the NGBC seats. Soon the 57s may have them as well.

Not personally, but others have been. The club operates as a QP during 0700-1100, and paid AC members are not allowed access until they put away the food buffet and convert it over to an AC.
AA passengers are not allowed access 0700-1100, even if they are on a morning flight departing HNL, unless they are eligible for access under OneWorld rules (i.e. international same-day travel if AA PLT/EXP or J/F).

True, and they get to use ACs. So, it shouldn't matter whether it is an AC or a qantas club, an AC member should be able to get into either.

aa.com does say the HNL AC is open from 11am-9:30pm. But if paid AC members are allowed in Qantas lounges, it appears it shouldn't matter. The question is, is the HNL club one of the "over 30 international lounges" or not?

Anyway, a 10:30 A.M. flight won't change that situation. AA already had a morning flight, 7:30 or 8:30 (depending on whether the rest of the country was on Daylight time), and they still had the rule cited above.
