Lounge access too.
...origin, IAH, and HNL (on arrival), if you so desire.

There's a little value there.

I read in another thread that the lounge access benefit on BF to Hawaii was eliminated.

The benefit is still published.

Hi,
we think about taking that ride too at the end of next August.
How are the chances that all 767 going this route will have the flat bed?
Co website says" all till June 2012".
Is this reliable?
Alternative is SFO-JFK on an PS UA flight.
What do you think is the better choice. BTW, final destination is FRA.

Low, as the 20-seat BF aircraft that mostly go to HNL will not be converted to the new BF seats.

CO 52 HNL-LAX in February is 752 w/ flat seats, you might connect to UA there. but that's a morning flight so probably no Frankfurt connection possible same day.

Quick question--what is the BF meal service like on this flight? Is it actual BF, or more like UA first class to Hawaii?

This may not be helpful to you as I suspect you're more familiar with PMUA, but meal service is somewhere between domestic F and international J. The service that was the closest was PMCO's transcon F service.

I think you can still see the meal choices on the PMCO website.

I've flown a lot on both PMCO and PMUA, so that's really helpful. Thank you!
