I certainly plan to skip that meal but with all the lights on, with all the banging of the carts and with FAs asking if people want more wine, I doubt I will be able to sleep even with the mask and ear plugs.

I've even had good luck asking to save my meal for later. Service won't be the same, but the guts of the meal should be available to serve later if you ask nicely when the purser is coming around to take orders.

Flights departing the US and flying to Europe at 7pm get dinner and then shortly before landing (yes, that may be 2am back in the US) they then get a lite snack or full breakfast depending on cabin. Why do you think they don't get dinner starting around 7:30-7:45pm shortly after takeoff??

BTW, I'm a 5.6 million miler with Delta. I've probably flown to Europe and Asia on Delta hundreds of times in my career. This ATL-ICN flight is like the HND flight used to be ... weird arrival and departure times.
