Any of those lie-flat? AFAIK, none of the UA routes have the PMCO 777-200.

Not yet, but UA will be converting their PMCO 767s to lie-flat with E+ by the end of this year.

Currently 5/12 PMCO 764s (Aircraft # 3051-3062) have been upgraded to lie flat+Economy Plus+AVOD+110 V Power+Channel 9.  2 are currently being retrofitted for all that, so there's a 50/50 shot at lie-flat right now on 764s.
None of the 4 PMCO 76Hs  (Aircraft # 3063-3066) have been upgraded.
All 16 birds should be retrofitted by December.  Should be awesome when done!

Interesting link thanks! Though the crew at FT seems to not think that there will be permanent changes on the HNL routes.
Heres the back and forths

I doubt DEN and SFO will keep lie-flats, but I wouldn't be surprised to see EWR, IAD, maybe IAH, and maybe even ORD go lie-flat after the retrofits.
Time will tell I guess.

FYI supposedly HA bombed their potentially good F seats on the A330's (+ no kosher food offered)

Effective 06/11-09/15 IAH-HNL will go from 76H to 764, which will mean a greater than 50% chance at lie flat F+Economy Plus+AVOD+110 V Power+Channel 9.
