Cabin Temperature by Airline
 
Can anyone help me find a resource to compare default cabin temperature settings by airline?

I personally like a cold environment. I would sacrifice a couple inches of pitch for a few degrees of F. I have found that I sleep an awful lot better on Asiana than Eva and I think it may be due to Asiana keeping their cabins cooler.

Between the major Asian carriers, do we know who keeps their cabin's coolest?

Thanks!

Cabin Temperature by Airline
 
In my experience BA is almost always uncomfortably warm for me. I once asked to lower the temp and the lowered it from 78 to 76F.... AYFKM???

AY is generally good. CX and SQ are OK.

I like to be warm. For flights I normally dress in corduroy travel pants with knee-length silk shorts underneath, wool socks with Polartec socks over them, a T-shirt with a waffle Henley and a Polartec fleece jacket over that. Usually, after about an hour the place warms up enough to take off the fleece jacket and sometimes even the Henley. That's to set the scene.

The coldest flight I've *ever* been on might suit you: BA LHR to LAX direct. On the flight it was on in mid-December it was so cold that I added legwarmers, the hood of the fleece jacket, a full-length blanket, and another blanket wrapped around my feet. I was still cold. And it wasn't just me this time: everyone around me was putting on woolly hats and jackets.

The FA seemed quite proud of it, said it was because this plane doesn't recirculate air but uses fresh air from outside. Well, I understand that, but when half the plane is wearing hats, scarves and gloves, maybe it's time to up the thermostat a little?

I'm with you msm. If I'm upfront and they give you the duvet I hate it when it is warm. Hard to sleep and just keep figiting. I find people rest better when it is a bit cooler and people can use the blankets to keep warm. For whatever reason I find the NRT flights are always warm. Keep it cool! Just sayin'....

Happy flyin'

There's a whole thread in the JAL forum about the warm cabins.

I love a cooler cabin as I tend to feel warm more often than not.

However, on one flight on NZ from LHR-LAX, I was by the door on a 777 and I actually had myself wrapped in one of the duvets, something I've never done on a plane.

Last night flight I had on Singapore Airlines was a sweat box. It was so uncomfortable.

I had a similar experience on a UA 777. Maybe it's the type

I must be the odd one out, I found TK to be very nice temp wise on board, I like heat.
I found CX to be the coldest ones I've ever been on, so cold that I actually had to use the blanket despite being fully dressed.

havnt really done international airlines. Domestically, I like it cooler rather than warmer. More important for me is moving air though. I dread the idea of ever having to face a plane iwthout air vents.

JAL - HOT! :p

A big plus for US airlines are cool cabins facilitated by air vents.

The two Air France A380 flights I took were warm, but I wasn't sweating.

I loathe the temps on JL, but enjoy all other parts of the flight (and while their 777s don't have air vents, the 787s do).

KL and OZ transpac were the worst for heat.

I find UA to keep its cabins far too cold. I always have to wear several layers and my feet freeze.

If the temperature is uncomfortable let a flight attendant know. On some airplanes they can adjust the temperature; if not, they'll let us know to cool it down or warm it up.
