As most passengers sleep during most long haul flights, even for daytime flights, breakfast after waking up?
While some don't sleep, most do -- whether it is best for jet lag or not.

Denny's, Waffle House, and IHOP stay busy around the clock... someone's having breakfast at all times of day.

My apologies to the good people working the griddle at those establishments to having their food compared to lower quality airline catering.

Got an apology and “as an exception” here’s a $200 ETC.”

I forget all the details, but an old Pan Am F/A told me that in the days of long-haul propeller flights (and perhaps even flying boats?) most of the landing times were appropriate for a breakfast service. As flying times became shorter with newer & faster planes, they retained that breakfast-for-arrival mantra. (The context was a discussion of trans-Pacific flights.)

Yes. Refund his ticket. He’s then engage in trespass.

And then what? Call the police to have him dragged off?

Sitting in 20A on 777HD HNL-LAX redeye last night. Late boarding passenger was in 17C asks purser for help in finding space for his medium-sized rollaboard. Purser sees space in bin above 17D. FA scoots a soft-side bag over and lifts 17C’s bag into bin, although it has to lean somewhat onto soft side, then closes bin w/o having to force item into bin or apply extra effort to close bin. He then leaves. A half-minute later irate 17D gets up and asks 1C multiple times why he put his stuff in his bin. 17C says the FA did (multiple times). FA notices irate passenger who then says “I’m a 1K - why did you treat my bag like that? You probably damaged something!” (W/o looking in bag). GA come over and tells 1K 17D that she’s trying to close flight. He takes picture of her w/ his phone. She goes away and comes back a minute later and asks him multiple times to open bag and show her any damaged items for a report. He refuses.

Finally, they move his bag to another bin. GA tells him she’s filing a report indicating he claimed potential damage but refused to show any.

United employees were both very professional during and after incident.

Before de-planing, I wrote a summary of what I saw and gave it to the purser in case it became a “he said, she said” deal. He was extremely appreciative.

He's lucky he wasn't off-loaded for taking a photo of the employee (I assume w/o his permission). He lucked out on that.

ContinentalFan

That’s one option.

Sadly I have seen this scenario played out many times. In fact so many times that this is one reason I tend not bring carry on with me and check everything. People get reall ugly sometimes for even mildly encroaching on "their" overhead space. Weird what can I say.

This charmer wouldn't happen to be a marginally famous baseball player, would he?

I don’t mind little doggies on board, but the rules of the road are “pooch poops you clean”. Aside from being a disgusting request of a stranger, the crew member is still required to serve food and beverages to the rest of the cabin and no amount of hand washing is enough to quell the ick factor there.

I’m surprised other customers didn’t speak up to stop the FA from cleaning it
