Real reason pilots keep the plane so cold revealed

Have you ever wondered why airplanes can be so cold?

A flight attendant has revealed the real reason why pilots keep the plane at cooler conditions than some might like. 

Vanessa Settimi, a flight attendant for Swoop Airlines, says there’s a good reason why.

She explained to Reader’s Digest that cabin crew don’t have access to the temperature controls, so they can’t do anything about it if you ask them to turn up the heating.

“Temperature in the cabin is controlled by the pilots, so even though travellers often ask to get the temperature turned up during flights, it is kept on the cooler side,” she explained. 

Vanessa explained that pilots keep the plane so cold to help passengers who suffer from motion sickness or that are prone to fainting.

So what can you do about it if you feel cold while travelling in the air?

The flight attendant recommends bringing an extra jumper or blanket the next time you’re flying.
