This flight has generally been a 4 pm departure, but had a few 1015 pm redeye departures in the last week - not delays or disruptions but in the schedule as a 1015 pm redeye.
Maybe we got the late night dinner because the flight number was programmed for a meal?
Believe flights over 2,300 miles receive a meal at all times, including redeyes. Per Great Circle Mapper, SEA-RDU clocks in at 2,354.
