What really bugs me is this (according to the reservations system, I haven't been on either of these flights)... DUB-EWR is a 7.5 hour flight. Being an international flight, you are entitled to a meal. Great! EWR-HNL, on the other hand, is just a little bit shy of being an 11 hour flight. Ooof. And worse, that flight is considered domestic still, so if you want a meal you gotta buy it yourself! What the crap? My stomach and my passport are NOT familiar with each other, so the stomach does not get hungrier because I'm carrying the passport.

I had a flight a few months ago--EWR to ATL. I was totally shocked that I got first class but then they served us a meal as well! Since there were no CVG nonstops it was my only option.Turned out to be a decent one.
