SLC-HNL practically always has the horrible domestic FC aircraft. Other than ATL-HNL A330 (and this summer 747), only LAX-NGO flight with a stopover in HNL (DL 611) is almost surely guaranteed to have the BE seats, as it continues on (same DL 611) from HNL to NGO. There is a chance that it may be a domestic aircraft on DL611 and an aircraft change in HNL required for the continuation onto NGO as DL611, but that is rare. Generally that (and just that one morning flight from LAX) will be the BE seats.
