Cabin temperature

@suze2000, most FS carriers do, but certainly not the LCC unless you pay or bring your own!!

For me cooler the better, nothing worse than getting into a hot cabin (DFW in Summer if someone didn't close their shade comes to mind)

Unfortunately blankets are not provided on JQ and VA so far as I know. I avoid rows 1 and 2 on Jetstar. It's just too cold for me.

I avoid Jetstar altogether.

@ ashleyn, "I avoid Jetstar altogether."
Not only for a cold cabin, it is lore to avoid them totally because of their uselessness!! IMHO

I much prefer a cooler cabin.

I believe most aircraft these days have zones for the A/C which can be individually set. A polite request is usually all it takes, especially if you are the first to comment.

I read a lot of people complaining about the temperature in the trains in Brisbane. If I am wearing a singlet and shirt and sit under the vent I feel the cold but if I put my jacket on I am OK. This temperature setting is way too cold.

Same with an aircraft cabin. For long haul flights I generally wear a singlet, shirt and jacket and find the temperature on most aircraft fine. I suspect it is set to ~22-23 degrees. I shouldnt have to wrap myself in a blanket because the temperature setting is too cold.

Another issue with any airconditioning system that is not usually considered is the volume of air generated by the aircon. High levels of air throughput, regardless of the air temperature, make the body feel cold. Conversely, low volumes of air make the body feel warm. So, when we ask the FA to change the temperature, maybe we should be asking them about the fan speed.

phily, a very good point, and one that's as true on a plane as it is on a train or in an hotel or motel room.
