A330 First Class
All, apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. Looking at booking a trip to OGG from MSP sometime in November and using GUC to upgrade to first. Due to that, looking to fly direct to HNL first on a widebody and take advantage of the lie flat seats and what not. However, when I review the A330 seat map when trying to purchase the ticket, the seat icons in first don't look like they reflect lie flat seats. Everywhere I search elsewhere it looks like all A330s in Delta's fleet have the more premium seats except this particular seat map. Any insights?
For what it's worth, I'm looking to depart on 11/5 and it indicates the aircraft is W43.

All DL A330s, both the A330-300s and the A330-200s, are equipped with 34 reverse herringbone fully lie flat seats. They're a fantastic ride.
Your A330 will have these seats. I also double cheeked your date and it is indeed an A330-300 operating the route.

The seat map labeling gets confused because, while this is Delta One equipment, the flight is being marketed as domestic "First Class". Since it is marketed as "First Class", the seat map display is incorrectly using the domestic FC seat description rather than the Delta One seat description. It's just a web-coding bug, they are Delta One lie-flat seats.
