I wholeheartedly agree with this.
I recently flew long-haul LH segments in the A340 and 748, and both were ridiculously hot. My whole body was wet with sweat. In every case I asked the FAs if they could lower the temperature. It made buying a J ticket useless because I was unable to sleep.
Another flight that comes to mind was a 764 run on UA. Same story -- so hot that I couldn't sleep in my J seat. I asked the inflight service manager to lower the temp, but it never got cool enough to sleep.
I used to frequently fly QR ultra long hauls, and I never remember having problems with the temperature aboard those flights. It's tempting to travel with a portable thermometer just to prove I'm not insane!!
