Cabin Fever (turn it down to 30!)
 

:rolleyes: Hey folks...

In the past 6 weeks or so I have had 5 longhaul segments on BA and on the four I have taken in 747-400, the cabin in Upper Deck was extremely warm during the entire overnight flight :confused:

I of course asked the CC if there was anything that could be done, obligatory "Ï'll ask the captain" response, but for those of us who can't sleep without a blanket over us it made for some unpleasant travel. Curiously enough, the 777 flights I have had this year have been quite comfy, except for the mysterious "bad air" -- the temperature has always been fine tho...

I'd expect this from CX (in fact, I am always prepared for a very warm cabin there), but am I the only one noticing this? :confused:

/BBQ

AFAIK: The cabin crew should be able to regulate the cabin temperature themselves (every cabin can be regulated individualy).

I think the conventional wisdom among cabin crew is that high temperatures (and lots of booze) keeps the punters drowsy and quiet... :)

I find asking nicely to keep it around 22/23 does the trick. If they are not co-operating then I go and speak to them for an extended period - lots of "what does this knob do" newbie stuff ; I soon find the cabin cools and I can return to my bed for a good night's rest.

drowsy and quiet perhaps... but hot and bothered doesn't exactly bode well for a good nights sleep! :mad:

This is the only real gripe I have, and its not just BA - CX and QF are culprits too. The best nights sleep i've had was with LA on a MIA-SCL flight in January.

I wish they would err of the side of caution and set the temperature a little on the cold side, at least you can always put layers on, once down to T-shirt and shorts/jeans/trousers it doesn't leave much to work with... at least not without getting arrested! :D

I am also one who finds it very difficult to get comfortable and sleep in a tropical cabin. I find though, that the crew are happy to adjust the thermostat when I ask nicely.

There are some days you know as soon as you meet the crew that you are going to get roasted during the night,

I find it a problem, too. A recent SEA-LHR in CW was so hot it made me feel ill.
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Exactly. "Trust me you don't want me stripping off any more layers :D "

BA were again hot in my latest flights. I noticed there was a considerable difference in temperature between WT galley (mild) and the forward mini cabin (hot) :(

flippin heck, what flights have you been on recently!? :eek: :eek: :p :p ;)

Not that kind of roasted, AJLondon :eek: . Down, boy!

Ther is more than one kind? We are talking about high temperatures in the cabin, right? :confused: ;)

Thank you krug - as we all should know, spitting is strictly prohibited on board

Would anyone believe me if I said that a friend walked into a 'roasting' session involving Ian and Janette Krankie and Bob Carolgees?

I didn't believe it either, but she swore it was true (she worked at the BBC in Manchester).

Cheers,

Swallowing seems similarly out of fashion, too.

The best thread creep ever....

:confused: surely a contradiction
