With higher humidity and if there are no personal air vents to cool me down, I will be dripping wet. Like a day in Florida with poor air conditioning. An 80 degree day in Arizona tends to be more comfortable than in Florida.
The difference is in FL you want to get it down from 90% to the comfort zone, on planes they're moving it up from the single digits to the comfort zone.

Most major operators will be 9 abreast in Economy, including United.
