It's snacks Bahrain to Kuwait.

This is not a 16.5 hour nonstop flight on UA.

The website is confused due to the direct flight aspect.
Never say never. Sitting on UA881 now. It is scheduled 12:20 in air from ORD-NRT. But I have been sitting on this darn plane for over 3 hours now and we still have not taken off! I am in F, and feeling it - so feel so sorry for everyone sitting in Y. If this plane takes off, it will be the longest non-stop BIS I can think of.
