    undercooled cabins

    Interesting that you mention that cabins are under cooled. I get really cold on airplanes and snuggle under my coat or hoodie and drink tea the entire time.

    There's a good question...

    Why is it such a freakin hassle to get hot tea on an airplane? It's less work than making coffee but the tea doesn't show up until everyone has their peanuts and third cup of coffee.
