In the back, they do have some snacks to grab but I would not count on it.
Our flight had cater error so they forgot to load main course.
All I can say is that the instant noodles that I brought saved us.
I would suggest that you bring your own food too. Even they cater correctly, you might still feel hungry for the 11 hours flight.
Here is my trip video for this flight
EWR-HNL
Yeah, not sure why they don't at least serve everyone ramen for the snack course. I recall UA used to do that in coach on some transpac flights. It would cost next to nothing and keep pax from starving.
Didn't realize there were any snacks in the back (no reason an Economy+ pax would ever go that far back in the plane).
The flight certainly seemed uncrowded. I was thinking "why are they operating this -- it must be losing them a fortune, especially on a fuel guzzling 767, and they could just connect the passengers at the other hubs." Candidly, given the long flight time and the high cost of a Hawaiian vacation, I'm skeptical that this flight will ever "work." Even I said to my wife, "you know, maybe next time we want a warm destination in winter, we should just go to the Caribbean."
