Good point sinala, do you know what the snacks would be?
If you were receiving a snack (hopefully something healthy), would this tide you over until you could use your meal allownce to buy something?
I guess it all depends on the ammount of allowance you get, I know we are crying out for an allowance as our crew meals are so unhealthy. We do receive fruit and cheese and crackers to snack on aswell as instant soup, I find I generally have this until its I get home or to hotels ec, but feel ripped off that my DTA goes on eating at home and when im away!
I believe Air NZ crew get a meal allownce if they do not get time to consume their meal, and its up to the cabin manager to report whether this happens or not...
