The fever starts a few hours into the flight, and ends 2 hours after the flight (just long enough to make customs miserable).
Welcome to FT!

I noticed our leg HOU-CUN, the sun was unusually hot aganst the plane, and cabin temperature soared.. same thing but to a lesser extent CUN-LAX..

Perhaps the radiation has something to do with it, and how your body reacts to it.. but just a theory..
