So on YYZ-CDG last night, SD came by just after take off and talked to Alttuide members, only 3 of us in J Cabin based on her stops. I asked please keep temperature down, I don't want to be 'one of those guys' and I under stand 20-100 people in plane will want a different temperature. It was just my last flight beginning of August YYC-LHR I woke up in a sweat and it was uncomfortably hot. She immediately said she understood and made sure I found current temperature fine. She checked at end of flight to make sure everything had been to my satisfaction.
Very good flight, excellent service

But she asked at the END of the flight. Wouldn't that be too late?

She made it clear during our initial conversation to call if an issue any time during the flight, the end of flight was an overall 'did we do everything/make me happy

Boarding Boiling Bertie FIN 936 soon. I wore a polo shirt instead of a shirt, vest, and tie this time. When I get to YUL I will change into business attire in the Dom MLL.

If I could go shirtless and pantless on this flight, I would, but I can't, so I won't.

(I'm not a commando kinda guy, so I will have my undies on)

Great news! Looks good on AC, and particularly the pilot for making that call. ^^

Despite my one-layer polo shirt and no-blanket, the cabin was still boiling as hell. I didn't feel well.

I am on the later FRA flight ex-YYZ this week and I'm going to try to change it to the earlier ex-YYZ flight.

Boiling Bertie likes it hot. They should rename the Airbus 333 to the Airbus 666.

For the 3,694,603.753th time - no.
Do I have to bug the SD every single time I'm on a hot airplane? I get tired of doing that.

I silently suffered and my solution is to simply avoid the aircraft because I can afford to do so... ok well... sometimes I am constrained with client requirements so there are only certain times and flights that I can choose from. But anyway, how about AC just make a rule and have all cabin temps one degree less at least?

^

On my last CX HKG-SIN on Friday, when the ISM (equivalent of SD on AC) came to great me, we chatted a bit and I asked her out of curiosity if there was a cabin temperature rule that CX follows?

Interesting and logical explanation, she told me that CX keeps the temperature at 22-23 during day flights and lowers it at 21 during night flights, where passengers have their duvet blankets.

i think the problem is the FA are cold beside the exit doors, so they turn up the heat???
I had a Captain take over the "heating" on a UA flight so he could stop the FA's from boiling the passengers.

This is absurd. FA's usually are warm (ask ACYYZ/SD) as they are busy walking around and serving passengers.

I could buy your cold FA theory, it's definitely not beyond the realm of possibilities.

But I always thought the heat was controlled from the cockpit. Is it aircraft-specific maybe? I swear I've overheard FAs tell pax "I've already asked the captain to turn up / turn down the heat"...

No, it is not. It is controlled per zone in some cases, but the FA/SD has control for the temperatures. Up front though, the pilot can see the temperature per zone. (at least on the 777)
