I'm afraid that the premium options are slim from LAX. UA and HA are your major players, and neither has any regular lie-flats in these markets. Most of UA's flights use 737s, although there may be 1-2 777s a day to HNL.
The newest wide bodies flying these routes are HA's A330s. There is exactly one lie-flat version now flying, with more coming. Even with the non-lie flats, the HA experience will be superior.
Sadly, none of the options will be like your LH/EK flights.
Aloha to you, Mr
747FC!
Thank you very much for your reply. This is interesting, as I thought that DL was the best option (as per
SFO777's recent TR).
I'm not expecting anything fancy, just a modern cabin and decent legroom.
And of course you're right in anticipating another TR...
Stay tuned!
PS: thanks a lot for offering assistance with regards to hotels. So far I'm looking at FS Lanai, FS Hualalai and Montage. (Andaz & Hotel Wailea are also on the list but will likely be dropped). Would you agree that those are good choices?
