Depends on season and airport.
DFW has had year-round widebody. For PHX, AA has added widebody service in months where it has previously been a narrowbody (we're flying PHX-OGG in June/July on the 772). CLT is a new route.

In fairness I am referring to CA-Hawaii. ORD/EWR/IAH/DEN would get widebody regardless

That's certainly true if you're sitting up front. In Economy, I'll take a 737 over the 3-4-3 HD 777 anytime.

I thought the only 757-200s left all have flatbeds

Is this why the daily EWR-HNL nonstop has "mostly" eliminated? I just logged on to check my 5/26 EWR-HNL nonstop flight that I was booked on and found it changed to a connecting flight through LAX which has other ramifications (a connecting flight). I will have to fly the 757-300 out of LAX which I really can't stand. I've checked several different days and I see a few nonstop EWR-HNL but most have now been canceled.

Seems to go back to all 738 in second half of June. Would be nice if they upgauge the rest of June as that is when we plan to travel.
