Lufthansa Economy Light - transatlantic: meals?
Has anyone flown transatlantic USA/Canada to/from Europe on a Lufthansa Economy Light fare? If so, did you receive a "snack" or a full meal?
I've spoken to Lufthansa twice; one representative told me we'd get a full meal, another said a snack only. I've looked all through their website, and the info is ambiguous/unclear. I've searched the internet and read conflicting info.
So now I look to you, dear Fodorite who has flown Lufthansa across the pond on a cursed Economy Light fare. Did you get a full meal?
(I booked our flights through Chase to use our copious award points; on the Chase site, there was no indication of the fare being Economy Light. But I still knocked off nearly $2,000 from our fares, so I can't complain too much. Just want to know how much advance planning we need to do re. eating in-flight.)

Odin - you mean the crew would need to have a roster listing the eligibility of every passenger? That's way different than distinguishing between first class and coach, or identifying who gets a pre-reserved special meal. Wanna bet the unions would be up in arms over this?

I have flown economy class on Lufthansa and we were served a meal. I went from Dublin to Frankfurt and they gave us beer and a sandwich a couple of years ago, I always eat before boarding if evening flight so don't worry about eating but I look forward to something on a day flight. I would get a sandwich in Munich for the return flight if worried. They have so many places in airport that you could get something easy enough.
