Cabin Temperature on Transatlantic Flights

Hello,

I'm recovering from an illness that caused autonomic nerve damage and my body has trouble regulating its own temperature. At warm temperatures, my body overheats; at cool temperatures, I'm just fine. I need to cross the Atlantic and I wonder if there is anyone who regularly makes a certain flight across the Atlantic where the cabin temperature is kept chilly. I'm hoping to depart from the Washington, D.C. area; anywhere I'd land in Europe is acceptable.

I've flown several times domestically since the onset of my illness. On one flight with a warm cabin temperature, I nearly lost consciousness; the FA was nice and turned the temp down a little for me, but they're not always willing or able to do this (if, for example, other passengers like it to be warm). I've been reading through the forum threads and have seen a few conversations regarding cabin temperatures, but I was hoping for some current information on specific flights. I'm aware that there are no guarantees about cabin temperature, but I'm trying to improve my odds of making it overseas safely and comfortably. If, for instance, someone regularly makes the same flight on business and can say, "It's always chilly onboard," I'd love to know which flight this is. I'm looking into cooling vests, but haven't tried one out yet. Thank you!
