Cabin Air Temperature
I hope, this is the right place to ask a this question.
How is the temperature in the passenger cabin adjusted / controlled og jet-airliners (B767, Airbus etc) ??
I have spend several nights on flights from West Africa to Europe on various european airlines flying B767 and A310 (no Boeing vs. Airbus issue), freezing under the thin blanket usually provided, and I wonder if anything could be done. I know several people who have been freezing during night flights too.
Is the cabin temp. controlled
-from the cockpit (by the pilots, who probably have no idea of the cabin comfort except from a temperature readout, as they are supposed to stay up front),
- a galley (by cabin crew) or
- is it a fixed setting.
I know it is impossible to adjust the cabin temp. to suit 2-300 people, but if you want to try - where is it done ??
