Any air vent blowing on me gets closed immediately after I sit down. If I'm hot, I'll take off my jacket.

Besides, the only planes I ever get on that are too warm are the one left by AA in DFW with the window shades open and the engines off. Get on one of those babies, and that little air vent won't help you one bit!

The air is recirculated from these vents? I thought it was from the bleed engine air... aka- outside? At least its cooler...

I always turn on my vents and leave them on the whole flight... AS has individual vents for all... and 3 vents for 2 to share in F

Either way, you are sharing air with the rest of the occupants. It's never personal air.

Indeed But it at least allows for air flow in your direction adjusted for your personal needs!
