The 767 QF uses is okay. You get PJs on SYD-HNL and the usual full service minus the PJs on the way back.
AA uses different versions of their 767s on this route IIRC. If you are lucky, you will get one with lie flat seats but with the entertainment unit taken out. One of the nicest domestic planes I have ever been on.
If you are unlucky it will just be a standard domestic F seat without much excitement.

AA only uses one version of the 767 on this route, the 767-300 ( 767-200 does not fly this route) You maybe confusing with 757 which also flies to HNL from west coast airports, the 757 is to be avoided if at all possible, 2 x 767-300 ex LAX daily. The 767-300 now are all NGBC- lie flat, but not horizontal
