I can't remember the last time I needed to use a duvet in F or Club and still wake up uncomfortably hot.
A little unfair there I think. Do you know how many times we get asked to put the temp up/down on flights!?! Generally gentlemen tend to be on the warmer side and ladies on the cooler side. The 74 has a nasty habit of setting it's own temperatures and unless you have an SCCM that keeps a check on the temps, it will likely default to 24 degrees. With temperatures, as many have said, just speak to the crew, but bare in mind that another customer may have asked them to do the opposite with the temperature not 5 minutes previously. The joys of mass transportation and conspiracy theorists.....
