Never experienced a cold transatlantic plane with any US carrier unless seated in an exit row -Most planes are too hot for me anyway though.

I prefer that to being too hot on a flight, which always makes me feel nauseated

Just open a window a bit - some fresh air always helps :beer:

I've been rebooked on AA. I'll probably die of hypothermia lol. BA cancel our domestic flights regularly from Aberdeen

Hope the flight was on the 77W plane with AA - i much prefer their business class on that plane to club world on AA. We have just done a Dublin - HNL on one of those deals and we chose AA for the international having done BA a couple of times an not being impressed with the tired Club World cabin.

The AA flight was actually much better than I anticipated. Coming home with BA was the worst Club Class cabin I have ever been in. Not an experience I wish to repeat, so much choice out there.

AA have the DUB PHL direct flight so you could skip BA completely and take the train PHL NYC (or fly PHL to almost anywhere else) next time if you want the ex EURO flights but avoid BA.

I've never understood the BA hype when there's so many other choices usually at better prices . I've flown everyone BUT BA in recent years transatlantic and only flown BA when I've had to on short haul flights (usually paid for with AA miles)

During flight there is no air conditioning, the intake of external fresh air needs to be heated. Economising on this results in a cold cabin environment, or stale and stuffy if air is recirculated more to reduce costs.

At least, that's always been my understanding. SAS (Scandinavian) used to have a reputation for excellent cabin atmosphere and I found flying long haul with them less draining than with other carriers on the same route.

BA are quite happy when anyone flies AA across the Atlantic, they still make their money on those tickets.
