Hello,

I was on a SAA flight from Cape Town -> Frankfurt this spring, and had a pax sitting behind me, asking the stewardess roughly short before take off, if it would be possible to heat the plane a bit because he was freezing... (It was while she was getting her seat for take off..) she said that she would tell the Captain as soon as possible after take off.

about a minute or two after take off he was being grumpy to his wife that it is still not warmer and he will never fly with SAA again... I don't know what he thinks the pilots have to do during take off, but I am happy that they are not worrying about the cabin heat in that phase of flight Wink

As soon as service started he complained again, and for a short time I was thinking of saying something but decided it is not worth it.... Even if done directly it needs some time to get warmer....

How stupid can people are???

BTW, It was one of the best and funniest long haul flights I had so far.. Never had such an amusing Cabin crew!!!
