At least there was no common outcry from the passengers. It was not
only a cold but also a quiet flight during the night (sth. link 1am to
6am). The whole cabin was asleep most of the time. I think I drifted
off a few times during the flight, too (I can rarely sleep on planes).

That's why I'm asking here. I think if there was a pattern with cold
flights with Qantas there would be people here having noticed this.

> Did you tell the flight attendants that you were cold?

While I don't actually remember, I don't think so. You don't see them
often during that flight with basically everyone asleep. And if you did
- what could they do about it? I mean they're in the same cabin and if
they notice sth. out of the usual that may point to technical problems,
I'd hope they'd tell the captain on their own. It was a relatively
short flight, so as I said, we didn't really bother that much back
then. A 13h-flight from Europe to Singapore (and back) would be a
different thing.
