Hawaii 757 FC foot rests ?
New member and US Air FC passenger Hawaii-Phoenix. Do US Air 757s have footrests in their FC recliners?

No, the 757 US flys from PHX-Hawaii are aweful for an F product. It's comparable to domestic first which is really just a bigger seat. It's nothing at all like Envoy with lots more room, personal IFE, improved meals, etc.

If you want a nice seat to HNL, consider taking the CLT-HNL-CLT flight.
That route is operated by an internationally equipped 767-200. While the seats are the Envoy seats, the service is basically domestic F.

If you want good seats from KOA, you should try UA to ORD or SFO. They have 2 daily KOA-SFO service, one of them operated with 763 with the new business class (the other with 757 with domestic F class). To ORD they use 777 with older business class, but it is still better than the US domestic F class.

No, it's DFW this time....trouble is, the single KOA-SFO UA flight gets in SFO at 8:50PM and requires an overnight stay. Shortest travel time is 9+ hours on US Air. Going through HNL is a pain and always a delay and increases total travel time to over 12 hours.

UA has an overnite flight KOA-DEN that might work for you. Travel time is about an hour more than US through PHX since DEN is a more out of the way routing.

FC Seating?
Thanks BB.
I see that's it's a 757-200 KOA-DEN, and Embrar 170 to DEN-DFW.
What is the UA 757-200 seating? Seatguru shows close to the same seat tiltback and width as USAir 757-200s...
Red eyes are red eyes I guess..none noteworthy. We prefer the CO 767 FC seating HNL-IAH, but adding interisland flight and delays plus a CO Express Embrar IAH-DFW, total time approaches 13 hours...once again forcing me to look at US Air KOA-PHX-DFW @ 9+ hours. Maybe CO on the way back after all.
PS: posted this question elsewhere on FT, but if we were to take a SW flight to Houston IAH, how do we get to connecting Continental flights?

Are you trying to stay within *A or would you consider AA? They seem to have some good options KOA-LAX-DFW that are around 9 hours.

That's correct.
