Economy Class Refreshment to Shanghai

Does anyone know what it includes? I'm currently booked in Economy from HKG-PVG and the meal lists as refreshment. We have a 3pm departure. Will it be the same as HKG-TPE?

No, TPE is that weird, clearly unhealthy but kinda tasty (probably shouldn't admit that....) lattice pastry filled with mystery meat thing.

PVG has a "proper" economy meal. There will be a choice of mains, a tray, cup of water, some small desert, etc.

Is it correct that flights of more than 2hrs get a 'proper' meal, while for less than 2hr flights, only refreshments (cookies and juice/water) are served?

Well for HAN we had by and large "proper" meals last month. It was 2 hrs 5 mins in and 1 hr 50 mins back.

I had a packet of cookies for Guilin so I would assume the same for XMN.

HKG-PVG departing about 3pm should be a KA flight, don't know if it would make any catering difference. A report from the internet in 2015 shows some dim-sum main with fruits and ice-cream.

A year ago (2016) received some meat-filled bun+cookie+water for morning HKG-XMN and night XMN-HKG, but not the CX TPE type.

Refreshment for PVG on KA means:
Fruits + Main + Icecream (no bread nor proper appetiser/salad)

It should be a meat-filled pun and one bottle of water... I remember they provided mains in 1hr 30min flight in 2014...

Refreshment on April 2017 - KA870, wish it can help you to understand that some kind of hot refreshment will be served.



The Flight delayed from 15:00 to 19:10 due to the famous SHA FIR flow control...
