<b>Why are some airplane cabins so cold?</b><br>
<br>
Question: I traveled to the United States from Frankfurt, Germany, in May. I've been on the same flight before, so I knew to be prepared with a sweater. Now, I'm sensitive to the cold, so this time I also brought along a thermometer. It was 51 degrees Fahrenheit (although sometimes it inched up to 53). Many of the passengers were wearing heavy jackets, and people were coughing. Why would they keep it so cold?<br>
