My cousin recently traveled F class on Traitor Air (CX253) HKG-LHR. It was an early afternoon departure and evening arrival flight. He was totally shocked to discover that they served breakfast as the second meal prior to arrival. "Omelettes, congee....... when I am getting ready to go to bed shortly........what a joke" was his reaction when he phoned me yesterday. He even goes to comment further. "Does CX catering management even have a clue as to when is dinner time and when is breakfast time?" To add insult, he reported that Traitor Air was still using plastic cultery for this route and food was poor. In that he has vowed never to fly CX again for his future Hong Kong - London trips because of this practice. He will not mind the detour via SIN to catch SQ320 so he can have proper F class meals (Lunch followed by Dinner) with proper metaly cultery for future trips.
After the conversation, I still keep scratching my head as to why some carries would serve breakfast for a daytime departure and night arrival for the second meal. Regardless, I am pleased that of all the times I've taken the daytime SQ320 SIN-LHR in Y, J, and F they always serve proper lunch after take-off and dinner prior to landing in LHR. His report gives me one extra reason to avoid CX for LHR trips and take SQ instead. I have not taken the daytime SQ326 to FRA, but I assume the meal pattern are the same like SQ320.
