The idea of sitting in a hot cabin, even in J seats, for eleven hours does not appeal to us. I also hear that the cabin staff is not cooperative with requests to cool down the cabin a bit.
It would be somewhat helpful to have individual overhead air vents but most wide bodies do not have these. Are there any TK planes that have individual air vents at J seats?
We tend to "dress up" a bit for J seat travel but... we may show up in shorts and t-shirts for the TK flight... if we book it at all.
I've put the question to a friend of mine, an American who is a lead/check pilot for TK. I haven't heard back from him yet.
I was cold on my last flight with them, although the cabin is usually a bit on the warm side.
Perceived temperature is subjective, but on dozens of TATL flights with them I have never come across the hot or EXTREMELY HOT SAUNA cabins people talk about, both in J and Y.
