TPAC Double Dinner
I'm looking at some flights TPAC flights that show the BE meal service as "Dinner, Dinner."
Does this imply that they serve two full dinner services on that flight? I'm assuming the first dinner is the heavy four course dinner that one would get on an eastbound TATL flight. What would the second dinner be?

Perhaps the mid flight "snack". It's rather substantial in BE.

Which flights? Perhaps they are "direct" flights from southern Asia that stop in Tokyo, so it's really two flight segments. I can see dinner being served on both segments since the flights are also sold individually.

Complete route of DL 173 goes JFK NRT MNL.
The BE service is: Dinner after takeoff and first round of drinks, snack over the Pacific, breakfast before landing at NRT and Dinner NRT MNL.

But the "snack" can actually be quite substantial. Certainly more than a domestic FC dinner!

If it was over the US it would probably be called premium F dinner.

What I'm hearing is that I'm certainly not going to starve on the flight.
I'm actually flying JFK-NRT with a 2 hour layover and the NRT-BKK, which is also a dinner service.

When I flew DTW-ICN in January there were essentially three meals. Dinner, a lunch/dinner meal and then breakfast. The middle meal even included an option of entree items if I recall.
In BE they definitely kept us well fed and lubricated. In between meals the pursuer set up a snack buffet in the forward galley (777) that included a nice arrangement of items.

I was just pricing some MSP-PEK options and ran across the dinner, dinner option for a couple of the options...but those options were also a couple hundred bucks more so I've never experienced that...but I never go hungry on TPAC flights.

I'm flying JFK-NRT-BKK. That means in a 20 hour stretch, I'll have dinner, a snack, dinner, snack in the SC, dinner, and another snack. Will they need to roll me off the plane?
