Meal Service HKG > DXB: What to expect?
Hello
Later this month i'm going HKG to DXB in J, leaving HKG to 02:05 and arriving DXB at 06:30.
I was just wondering what meal service to expect on this flight? Would it be dinner and then breakfast, or perhaps just a snack and then breakfast?
Most likely i'll be sleeping for most of it, but interested to know.
Thanks in advance

A bit faster meal service and dark cabin to allow J passengers to sleep sooner.
Starting a few months ago on these overnight flights, I noticed CX also reduced the 2nd meal, breakfast, from a full breakfast with hot entree to an "continental" cold breakfast. The Supper apetizer's cracker breadsticks/dip and cold light breakfast are the latest cost reductions in J catering.
Given the lackluster catering and the HKG-DXB flights being only 6.5-7 hours flight time, I usually put on my eye shades right after takeoff and take full advantage of the bed to sleep through the whole flight, planning on eating before and after the flights.
