7-hour red-eye on AA 757.

Y = ~$300.
J = ~$500, 2x2 angle-flat seats.

Considering I'll be shlepping lots of luggage and would've likely paid for MCE ($100+), J is a no-brainer. Amirite?
Sounds like it to me, especially you.

EY is def a nicer cabin but RJ 787 isnt too bad and I wouldn't go out of the way to fly EY.

Do plane upgrades usually complete on schedule?
Hawaiian has already started on its first A330 lie flat and they claim they will be done by late second quarter, what's the chances of that happening?

Aha. Tough choice. Flying to OGG mid July and deciding if its worth the gamble of booking HA. Easier to find availability then UA.
