HA is by far the best interisland product with their relatively new 717s. Their Hawaii-Mainland and HNL-SYD service is on 767s configured much like DL's, that is with domestic F 39" pitch seats. They do not have AVOD wired in, but the last time I flew them they handed out personal video sets in F and rented out a limited number in Y. There is overhead video in both cabins. So be joyful about being able to book to SYD, but don't get all excited about the level of comfort or service. It is about the same as DL, with nice FAs and decent food, but F seats that are sub-par for long haul flights. Hopefully they will have some reasonable redemption arrangements for those of us based here in Hawaii. I would love to burn some of my SkyMiles on HA flights to SYD.
