This was not the case for us, from memory breakfast was served 2 hours before landing or maybe 2.5 hours.
Again being NZ based, I will do anything to stay on a direct flight rather than the messy US connection. Coming back from a conference nearly every second person had a delay in the US domestic leg before the connection back to the pacific (QF flyers).
**This is much easier to handle when at the front of the bus, the FSM mentioned our extended ORD-AKL 17.5 hour trip was causing much restlessness in the back.
