Too bad they continue to treat HNL-ATL as international for upgrade purposes but domestic for (lack of) meals purposes.

This does end my consideration of doing a status match to AS for 2014.
On what fare though can you UPG HNL to the west coast? Is it all or Y B M? From the T & C

Mileage upgrades on international itineraries including Mexico, Caribbean, Bermuda and Hawaii are eligible on Y, B, M.
