SEA-HNL HA21 and SEA-OGG HA29 will remain 330's. The additional flight is a year round 321 service, as opposed to the seasonal 330 service each year.
LAX-HNL (all flights), LAX-OGG HA33 will remain 330's. The additional OGG flight is seasonal. LAX-LIH/KOA are year round 321's.
SFO-HNL HA11 is a 330. There will be a second daily starting in October on the 321. SFO-OGG switched to the 321 last week. All this means a net increase in SFO capacity.
LAS-HNL (all flights) are 330's. The resumption of LAS-OGG in December is on the 321.
PHX-HNL remains 330.
JFK/BOS-HNL of course remain 330.
SAN-HNL is indeed planned to go to the 321. I suspect there's more to this story however. IMO, something had to switch to the 321 to free up a plane for the 3rd daily HND flight. SAN was the next logical move. Perhaps HAL sees seasonality opportunities with the 330 in SAN in the future. I don't think this move is as cut and dry as it appears.
