Good to know. I've had other airlines tell me that the departure meal can't be served later, like close to arrival (ostensibly as it might spoil, but mostly because they don't want to heat it up and deal with it later standalone I think). I still like it how other airlines, like JL, have a card in the seat where you mark which meal do you want at what time, to wake you or not, etc. That way you mark what and when you want and if you'd like can go straight to sleep.
