HNL-LAX-JFK
Just got an award ticket from HNL to JFK connecting at LAX.
1. I know I'll have lounge access at LAX, but do I get it at HNL too if connecting to a premium transcon route?
2. Will there be sundaes on these flights? HNL departure is 9:40 PM. LAX is 1 PM.
3. I was able to book the LAX to JFK in F for a surprisingly low price. Is it still the real F, or does the lower price mean its really business with an F seat?

HNL LAX is over 2,500 miles so it should get a sundae.
LAX JFK in 3-class F: Expect nothing impressive, more like a glorified J product but at least you won't have anyone sitting next to you thanks to the 1x1 configuration

Flagship is not what determines if a flight qualifies for sundaes, but rather, the flight being at least 2,200 miles and serving lunch or dinner, which is why CLT-LAX doesn't get sundaes, but PHL-LAX does, for example.

Does PHL-LAX get the real deal, made-to-order sundaes with toppings? Or just a premade ice cream dessert? (I am aware of some routes that the get premade ice cream dessert.)

And actually, all Hawaii flights, regardless of length, get a dinner/snack on redeyes back to the continental US (ie, HNL-LAX). However, LAX-PHL, for example, gets nothing on redeyes. LAX-JFK is a Flagship route and gets a dinner/snack on the redeye. I know, it's a bit confusing.

Flying 3-class F LAX-JFK should also allow access to the Chelsea Lounge at JFK upon arrival, if you desire.
