If you look around the cabins, you will notice that even at the temperature of the JAL cabins the Japanese passengers are generally wearing layers and using their blankets. Temperature perception is just very different,but the temperature is set to target the majority of the passengers.

Except a train ride doesn’t last 12 hours and you’re not stuck on it... someone talked about the fan above. I want to get that to set up for my flight in F. I can’t exactly understand the model. Does anyone know what and how the above poster was talking about setting up a little fan at your seat in F?

TYO-JFK return end Nov/early Dec with perfectly reasonable temperatures, and used the blanket while sleeping.
I'm a caucasian guy in my 40s who usually runs hot and haven't experienced any of the issues that others report on any of my flights, which have been once per quarter in the last two years.

Water misters fan when it’s 78 degrees in the cabin sounds like heaven to me.

I have a flight coming up on them in F. I’m trying to prepare for the worst.
Does anyone have any fans they can recommend so I don’t wake up in my own sweat like last time?

Flew 4 segments on JL last month in F/J (where there was no F).
I went with a new strategy that seemed to work. Immediately upon boarding I'd ask for a cold towel in lieu of a hot towel. This seemed to help set the tone, and explained I need a cooler cabin. The cold towel would appear (along with bubbles
) and generally the cabin was a reasonable temperature. Sometimes a bit warm, but not like it can be... so I'd recommend this for the future.

- (paid $7): Works well, but its angle of air flow is not adjustable, and its type-18650 battery no longer lasts long and is expensive to replace; many similar models abound
- (HWLHTF090B, paid $10): My current travel companion; cumbersome to use when plugged in due to poor cable management, but it uses common AA batteries (I use rechargeables) and lets me direct the air flow to wherever I want it; recommended
