The recently announced dedicated routes would only take 3 planes (NRT, SYD, AKL, BNE), so there will likely either be more announcements or they're building in flexibility to ensure those routes indeed have the lie flat a/c available, should one go tech somewhere. That said, if they don't commit to more guaranteed cities, the balance of the newly configured planes will continue to "surprise and delight" on random routes.

what would people suggest taking if your only option on an HNL-SYD A332 was 14E or 34A and the people on either side for both seats aren't part of your group?
I'm 6'1" and can't remember (or find good photos) of what the exit door bulge on the 332 looks like for seat 34, concerns on seat 14 is that it's a middle and not sure how close the bulkhead wall is to the seat.

Edit: Found one pic on yelp showing the lack of "bulge" at the 34A Door. I'm a man on a mission looking for that video I saw-because it legit made me thing "well if I can't get up front, I'll take 34AB/HJ."

I enjoyed 34A, while there is no floor storage the TON of legroom more than compensates and there is no exit door bulge. Seat Guru has a couple photos, see for yourself!

Just be aware that sitting by the door is usually much colder than anywhere else in the plane. My wife hates it, but I don't care for it only cause its far back so you get fed/drinks and get off the plane after everyone else.
HOWEVER, as previously stated if it was the only option for comfort I'd take it

So is there a known roll out plan for which routes get lie-flat F in which order?

I'm sure there's a plan... but the only routes that are publically announced are SYD, NRT, AKL and BNE starting in December. In the meantime, NRT and both SFO's seem to be getting the planes more often than not. Next one out of the mod line this weekend, bringing the the count up to 4 planes with the new cabin.

Flying sjc- hnl on Nov 19
Nice surprise to see 385HA at the gate in San Jose just now. Should be a good flight in 1HJ
Of course now that we've been sitting at the gate for an hour plus due to a computer glitch I'm a bit less thrilled with 385HA. But the seats are comfy!

As for SFO, it's the west coast city that has seen the new product the most, but since they aren't guaranteeing SFO at the moment, it could be a toss up for you. Cross your fingers!
