even if his wife is ok with him flying solo. Which he just did. I'm sure he doesn't want to fly solo and he'd rather have his wife with him.

I'm not flying solo

Hawaiian Airlines HNL - JFK, 2 Business Saver seats on April 4, 2017. This is on their A330 with the new, fully-flat business class seats. 40K each way.

I've searched everyday in both directions - thats over 550 flights - and that's the only day with Saver space. Expert flyer should show them as the 'D' class.

Very hard to tell from seating chart IIRC, but they play the lotto until the fleet is fully refurbished.

When I looked a few weeks ago the lie flat has different looking seats on the chart, but I guess they can always change it up on you

Yes, on the Hawaiian site it shows this:



Per TPG (http://thepointsguy.com/2016/05/hawaiian-air-lie-flat-business-class/), the first flight is going out Feb. 19 from JFK - HNL. I'll be on the flight on the 20th in J. Hope they don't change it!
