Would really appreciate any results/recent experiences regarding the comp upgrade on this route esp. with respect to days of the week (Wed vs. Sat, etc.). I know it's not full BE with the Westin bedding...I had the 757s to HNL so an upgrade here would be a nice change! =)

I know a few people flying this that have gotten the upgrade. It was at the gate, and think it was on either Thursday or Friday.
You should have an excellent shot on this flight if you are not traveling around school holidays. Also, Saturdays can be a heavier travel day. What's good about upgrades on this flight is that it doesn't allow same day connections to much of the US, so there's less competition for space.
