Timing of Dinner on TATL late flight?

We are flying in "Delta One" from MSP-AMS on flight that leaves MSP at 10:03pm, arriving AMS at 1:15PM the next day.

What will be the timing of meals on that flight?

It says we will have "dinner and breakfast".

Does that mean we get a midnight dinner and then breakfast?, or a breakfast and then lunch before landing?

Thanks for any insights.

You would get dinner shortly after takeoff, followed by a breakfast about 1.5 hours before arrival.

Dinner starting at 1-1h15 hour or so after take off. Breakfast will be typical served somewhere over the UK or just west of it around 12h00 GMT+1, 1h15 before arrival.

Is there a mid-flight snack in D1 on this route?

If you want to get to sleep faster you can order your D1 meal all served on one tray and save quite a bit of time. Of course you'll be trying to sleep while service is still happening, but with earplugs and an eye mask it can work.

Usually D1 meal services commence pretty quickly.

No, that's only on the ultra long haul flights. JNB, SYD, TPACs.

Thanks! It's been a while since I flew D1 TATL.

Still will probably eat in the airport and skip dinner.

If I have one of those late flights I eat in the airport and just ignore the entire meal service

After midnight for dinner and will wake you up earlier than you need. I would definitely eat something ahead of time, even if it's small. A CC with priority pass access (food & drinks available) has been extremely nice for us.

Strongly advise doing this if you want to maximize sleep. Just request it when you order (request "Dine and Rest service"). The only nuance is they pre-plate everything including bread so if you want a specific type you should request it when you order

Oops, I didn't read the Delta one aspect and was making my statement based on economy. Sorry!
