No lie-flats but it does have 20 FC seats.
And yes....brand new plane with power at every seat, hi-speed wifi, and entertainment system streaming.

Now if PHX-OGG was blessed with a wide body, that would be a different story.
Expect to see many more of these pop-up in the future as AA ramps up deliveries of their neo order.

I think that I misinterpreted the OPs enthusiasm - they sound genuinely happy to just to get a new plane on that route in the same way that I am overjoyed with trips that don’t feature a slew of MX or other operational delays.

As crappy as the Oasis seating is, and my skepticism about wifi working over the Pacific, this is definitely an improvement over the 757 now on the route.

Aren’t the current LUS 752 F seats and A321-neo F seats pretty much the same?
The sad thing is, except for the addition of power and a “refreshed-looking” interior, the A321-neo isn’t really an upgrade since there’s still no PTVs.
