I prefer a cool cabin but this felt very cold.
Contrast this with my SAS flight where the cabin was very warm after take-off and slowly cooled down to adjust to the cold Scandinavian ambient temperature at touchdown, but still comfortable.
So, how is the cabin temperature maintained on EK? Does it follow some logic or does the cabin crew member in charge of a particular cabin set the thermostat to whatever they want?
It is controlled by the cabin crew.
Though if there are issues will the bleed air and the heat exchanger in the engines might not be able to heat the air as much as they would like before having it enter the cabin. Though in that case they might up the recycled percentage, so not to lose as much heat.
