Random Questions - re Upcoming Hawaii & Trans-Con Flight
Hello All:
Sorry, a couple of random questions in advance of next months completely last-minute Hawaii trip (had to cancel a cruise out of BCN due to the terrorist attacks in Tunis, Tunesia - and DL was great at swapping me to a Hawaii route with no fees!)
Alas, to get the low-mileage and good seats, we have to go TPA-JFK-SFO-HNL but thankfully got the HNL-ATL-TPA for the return.
So, random questions:
1) Since the JFK-SFO flight is technically a "Delta One" flight, will we get any SkyClub access on the out-bound? I have access via my Reserve Card, but was planning on getting my wife in during the BCN trip due to a "Delta One" itinerary; is any SkyClub access included with the TransCon Delta One flights?
2) On that same note - is the new post-security SkyClub in SFO opened yet?
3) The crappy 757-300 from SFO-HNL; have the 757-3s that fly that route been updated with the satellite WiFi yet?
4) What is the food like for the SFO-HNL leg on a 757-3 - is it the same basic meal as on the a330 non-stop?
5) For the return on the a330 non-stop, do those a330 aircraft have the satellite WiFi yet?
Thanks in advance! It has been ages since I have flown to Hawaii, and thankfully ages since I crossed the Pacific in a 757!

Given that the 757-300's have all had their interiors refurbed within the last year, I would hardly call them "crappy". A number of the domestic fleet will be getting satellite based Wifi, but they haven't started the conversions from the ground-based systems yet. I believe most of the A330's have satellite wifi now.

I did that route last week but 753 both ways. One had the new interior, the other had the old interior. Old interior was much more comfortable - but neither had wifi over water. The food (beef tips) was excellent.
