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.
The cabin temperature would never be set to 26 degrees - it would feel like a sauna. Bear in mind the crew is exerting more energy working and we'd be melting at this temperature.
The 333 has 3 zonal temperature settings and adjustable in increments of .5 degrees. Row 13 (last row J/C - Cabin B) always cooler than the rest of the cabin. Seems to be a design nuance on the A330. Temperature is controlled from the L-1 panel and is usually controlled by the S/D. The ideal cabin setting would be 22 - 22.5 c (although my preference would be 21c). Conservatively, there must have been at least 20 customer request to adjust the temp - too cold/too hot. Again, 265 individuals have 265 temperature settings.
