CO 001 on IAH-HNL is the standard 764 with 35 BF seats. There's usually a change of plane and CO 001 HNL-GUM is on the Hawaii configured 764 with only 20 BF seats. It's usually hard to upgrade on the direct IAH-GUM because the IAH-HNL portion is usually full in BF and plenty of space on the HNL-GUM sector, and the flight is sold under 1 flight number as opposed to 2separate flights. I've done IAH-HNL-GUM-MNL and back several times and the only time I've gotten a successful upgrade was when the flights were on a DC-10.
