Bread I don’t know about-but F was full both ways on my flights (I want to emphasize again this was PRE COVID) and there were no issues with any provisioning on my legs. Nor were there on my previous flight to LAX in F. I again reached out on this forum to folks who are definitely “in the know” as it were and they assured there’s enough selection for both choices. I mean when you think about it-all they have to do is provision 64 meals for East Coast service (crew meals aside or as leftovers)

On the daytime flight BOS-HNL, lunch (still trying to figure out why it’s lunch and not breakfast/brunch due to the 5-6 hour time change) including the bread appetizer and dessert was served exactly 1 hour and 2 minutes after pushback from the gate on one tray.

The pre arrival snack was served about ~8:45 into the flight over the pacific with about 2 hours to go. All on one tray served with a few rounds of final coffee and drinks.

On the redeye back to BOS, appetizer and bread was served first then the main course then the dessert “cart”

I’m not sure if they provision differently at HNL to do the services separate or if the Purser/FA’s have a call on how to run the service a-la trays/timing etc.

I remember one of the FA’s on the outbound saying “we’re gonna have lunch soon cause it seems like everyone’s getting hungry” I noticed that they did the pre arrival (snack/lunch/snack) main cabin service a little later than they did in F-but that our FA’s didn’t leave the F cabin.
