in short, I don’t recognise ba planes as being abnormally warm (jl planes are the ones too warm for me but I suspect many Japanese passengers consider them just right. Conversely, I freeze on your typical aa flight but many Americans love it...)
Side note. You can't catch a cold virus from being cold. Nor does cold temperature make you any more likely to become infected. The only way to catch a cold virus is to catch it from another person who has it. The temperature is completely irrelevant from a scientific perspective.
