Crazy service - CX746 out of DXB
I've just done this flight (in J, if it matters).
The flight departed DXB at 5pm - a great overnight flight time, with 8 hours into HKG. That's why I chose it.
Good service, great food. I watched a movie through the evening meal, then kicked the chair back for sleeping through to HKG.
Then things went mad. After 5 hours flying time, banging and crashing tolleys came out, lights on and a full breakfast service, kids yelling ???? Then, .....they turn all the lights off again, for the last couple of hours into HKG.
What the heck was that all about ? Is this normal ?

I am never a fan of mid flight meal...in fact I hate it as it makes no sense for J pax! I have spoken and written directly to CX management on this in fact. On North America flights they are re-introducing normal meal service however last flight I had (CX885 LAX-HKG) the ISM decided to switch the normal service to mid-flight one. I was so annoyed as the menu clearly stated second meal was supposed to serve prior to arrival.

I normally sleep right through breakfast (since the 5pm DXB-HKG flight lands at 5am HK/1am DXB time) and a few times when I was awake in time for breakfast on the 11pm DXB-HKG flight, I noticed they served breakfast 1hour before landing (hot breakfast in J, snackbox in PE)
