Welcome to FlyerTalk, FlyGuy2015! As your query is not-airline specific, but is destination-specific, we'll move this over to the Hawai'i forum for further discussion. Thanks!

Personally, I enjoy the American flights on their 767-300 planes. If being fully flat is very important to you, then perhaps Delta is worth it. But I have no problems flying American on that route. I would rather have the status, especially considering you are only flying to Hawaii twice.

Lie-flat seats to Hawaii in first class?
Does anyone know which airlines (if any) have lie-flat seats to Hawaii in first class? We are planning our honeymoon, but my husband has a bad back, so we're wondering if lie-flat seats are even available. We assume, if they are, they would probably be in first class. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

UA has flat seats from EWR nonstop to HNL and the 767 from SFO to HNL on UA are lie flat
and sometimes from IAD to HNL. They also have "barco loungers" from ORD and Houston to HNL.

It would be good to know from where you are originating your journey. For example, if you were coming from Tokyo, you could take a UA F or J seat.

Opinions on best first class from TLH to HNL
Hello good people of the forum. I'm an infrequent domestic flyer that would appreciate any opinions on the best carrier and any pertinent information on best first class out of Tallahassee to Honolulu.
I know for many, non stop out of Atlanta would be the way to go, but I'd like to break up the flight and put my feet on the ground at least once. DFW, SLC, LAX etc.
A few years back I did a trip from Orlando to Anchorage, and was less than impressed with Delta's first class service. (Been 6 or seven years now) I'd do it again, just seemed lacking for the dollars spent.
I'd welcome and thank anyone in advance for any up to date opinions of carrier, route or seating preferences. (I only do isle if it matters) Flight will be one person, round trip.
Thanks in advance!

I do believe delta flies ATL to HNL with flat bed seats which is very rare to Hawaii.

Thank you.
Edit: That would be a game changer, as to my unwillingness to do the flight non-stop.

AA's flights from DFW to both HNL and OGG offer angled lie-flats in First.
"I only do isle if it matters."
Every seat to HNL on every airline is an "isle" seat.

I've been looking at flights and seating for three days, and this fact escaped me.

About a year ago United had lie flat seats in the 764 from Houston to Honolulu. Not sure what they're running now, but if Delta is too much $$ might look at that.

One more question, and I promise to let this thread into the obscurity it deserves..
Pertaining to the AA angles lie flat seats: They sound good on paper, but @18.5" seem narrow comparatively speaking, but IDK.. Are these seats as bad as I'm reading, or would they pass muster for an 8 hour run? 6'2" 200lb.
Thanks again.
