I have not tried it, but it is mentioned on the UA forum as perhaps the only flat bed premium cabin option between Hawaii and the US mainland on any US based airline. Of course, this flight will not deal with those passengers flying from YVR or cities close to YVR.
I understand that AC still offers a flat bed business class option between YYC and OGG?
That suggestion has been made many times. It is an excellent suggestion from the East for getting to Hawaii with lie flat seats.
And yes, the YYC-OGG is still served by mainline, but chances are that won't last long.
