So I will be taking BA214 from BOS-LHR with my family which departs at 9.30pm. It's a 6.5 hour flight. Given the lateness of the flight, and short duration, what do folks recommend in terms of meal planning? We will be in economy. Dinner will likely be served around 10.30pm.

Do most people recommend eating a regular meal before the flight? Light meal and then plane meal then sleep? Or wait and eat the plane meal since it helps to better adjust you to UK time? I hear that the snack prior to landing is mediocre at best, so perhaps eating the plane meal is the better of a poor option?

Thanks.
