It's really the West Coast that loses out, appears 767s from DEN/SFO are all gone, replaced by 737/757s. EWR-OGG and ORD-KOA are back on slightly reduced frequency from 2021, though ORD-KOA (along with ORD-HNL/OGG) gets 787-10 service, as 777s are exiting ORD.

This summer, the dreaded 77G/M (2-4-2 IPTE) are tentatively scheduled for HNL-SFO(x3), HNL-LAX(x2), HNL-DEN, HNL-IAH, OGG-SFO/DEN. The sole 77W is SFO-HNL-GUM. HNL-EWR gets a Polaris 77E, IAD a 764. EWR-OGG has a 76L when it operates. SNA-HNL is back with a 73G. DEN-LIH/KOA are the sole 752s. Everything else consists of 737s of various stripes (-800/900ER/MAX9) and a few random 753s. Not nearly as fun as last year!
Not as dreaded as the cramped B737 without flatbeds. But I hear you on the rest of it being nice while it lasted.
