I'm always 10 degrees too warm wherever I am, and could comfortably sleep in meat freezer.
On my particular flight it wasn't a fine balancing act. I would estimate it was about 6-8 degrees warmer than anything I would find comfortable. It was probably about 26 degrees in there. I intend to bring a thermometer on my next flight -- we'll see what CATSA makes of that
What kind of temperature controls does the 333 have? Can I ask the FA what temperature it's set to, or is it just "high" vs "low"? are there separate controls for different parts of the cabin?
While everyone so far has come down on the side of too hot I suspect we do have a gender imbalance on FT -- could everyone on this thread please disclose their gender so we can see if that argument holds water? I'm male.
