Hi everyone,
Glad to see that Chris was able to clarify with us. Just to re-confirm, we are indeed now scheduled 100% lie-flat on all long-haul international flights from North America. In fact, we just put out a
press release on the topic. Although it specifically references “all eight North American hubs”, we’re also operating SEA-NRT with an IPTE-equipped 777.
As Chris mentioned, if you’re still nostalgic for barcaloungers and cassette tapes, you have a good chance of finding one of the few remaining pre-IPTE 777s on HNL-NRT, as well as a few routes between HNL and the mainland U.S. However, these aircraft are also scheduled to be converted to the IPTE configuration before the end of the year (with their routes subject to change, of course).
