Unbearable 744 rear cabin temps !
 

I recently did a RT KIX - HKG in a 744 but have expereinced this in a 343 also -

It is apparently the policy to not utilize AC in the rear of the aircraft on the ground.. In the first case above on 506 the temp rose to unbearable and dangerous levels in the cabin. The cabin staff was completely ineffectual in resolving the matter. It is unhealthy and dangerous to trap humans in that type of condition. In the US it is illegal to treat animals that way yet CX seems to persist in dealing with Coach passengers in this manner. These two flights are my last. I consider flying CX and the treatment I received to be dangerous to my health. Not everyone can tolerate these poor conditions and treatment. I dont carry a thermometer but it had to exceed 38 C !

As an economic move to have to save money by not providing ground AC or firing up an additional AC APC via the APU is a terrible way to save. ANA, NW, JAL and UA all use the same aircraft as CX and they can manage to not make passengers suffer like this.

These are my last CX flights.

It is apparently your policy to not utilize AC in the rear of the aircraft on the ground..

I find overheated cabin an issue for both the rear and the front on CX flights. I don't quite understand the point of First class passengers getting duvets when the cabin is so warm that only short-sleeves clothes can be worn.

I've had a dozen flights in the US that have also been overheated on the ground, probably as much as you describe. This was on several different airlines and plane types, so it happens whenever there isn't AC available for whatever reason. Sometimes it is mechanics working on or near the APU that forces the lack of A/C, and not an attempt to save money by the airline. Fwiw, most airports provide cooled air to the planes, maybe KIX lacks this facility or it wasn't working? I know HKG airport does this, and presume your hot conditions were not at HKG.

My experience with CX is that it is cool most of the time. And yes, the duvets are sometimes needed, on some flights, though I usually use them underneath to soften the seat.

On AA, I freeze to death - front or back.

At KIX I was watching JAL use airport supplement AC as well as in HKG. Pretty clear CX is an other airline in the back. Its horrible.

It must be sterilizers. In order to expand aircraft's lifespan, flushing out Osaka Obasan perfume to be required.

Was upstairs in CX J yesterday, and it was terribly overheated. It was miserable. Nevertheless, some of the passengers were wearing sweaters. It did cool down in the middle of the flight, so blankets could be used. BA has the same overheating issues. I was pleased on this trip to find that Qantas actually keeps their flights cool enough to use a sweater. It was great.
