| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:46 | comment | added | user207421 | @Leliel All I can say, having taking dozens of those, is that I do. 14 hours without food will not kill you. Probably make you healthier, even disregarding the quality. | |

Clarified "accidentally" in the title, since I keep seeing the question and thinking, "Sure-- just tell them you don't want any", which is the exact opposite of what's being asked

| Aug 5, 2017 at 20:55 | comment | added | kosmos | I have seen flight attendants waking up sleeping passengers to offer them food. First they will say Sir! Sir! and then they will give a gentle push to wake you up. It is difficult to get deep sleep in plane unless you are really exhausted. Do not worry too much. Enjoy the flight, not everyday people come after you smiling and give you food. | |
| Aug 5, 2017 at 20:10 | comment | added | David Richerby | @dn3s Giving meals to 150-400 people takes a long time. If you're in the bathroom for the whole of that time, you're probably too ill to eat. ;-) If they pass your seat while you're in the bathroom, just go up to them and tell them what happened. | |

| Aug 5, 2017 at 10:27 | comment | added | Mikey | If you really want to be woken by cabin crew (I'm in the opposite camp: I want to sleep if I can) for airplane food, gently let them know in advance when they're not busy, that you'd appreciate being awoken during the meal service, and that you are not accustomed to flying. | |
| Aug 5, 2017 at 2:04 | comment | added | reirab | @Barmar All U.S. airlines have meals on long-haul flights like what the OP mentioned. The snacks-only flights are mostly just domestic or regional short-hauls, with the longest ones being 5-6 hours. An exception that existed for a while was flights from the Eastern U.S. to Hawaii, which were around 10 hours with no meal service, but at least some of them have put meal service back on those flights. Also, while meals are not included in the price on longer domestic flights, they usually are offered for sale, though I'd personally usually recommend eating before boarding instead. | |

| Aug 4, 2017 at 17:59 | comment | added | Andrew Lazarus | I suggest when you board or when the flight attendants come through at the beginning of the flight, you request they wake you up to eat. I don't think you can get lost enough in the music to miss the food service. | |
