  • Trusted Travel Resource

    I’ve been following Frommer’s travel for years. It is the most accurate and current information needed for successful experiences with travel. They are the experts through direct knowledge and relationships built around the globe. New “influencers” in travel just don’t have the expertise like Frommer’s.

  • Informative & Off The Beaten Trail

    This is such a comfort listen for me. Even if I never make it to 99% of these destinations, listening to Pauline makes me feel so more worldly. A really nice companion show to the books, which I also read for places I’ve never been lol

warmer, stuffier cabins tend to increase susceptibility, while cooler, well-ventilated environments can help reduce nausea; calm music and forward seating can also help manage symptoms.
The Science Behind Airplane Temperatures and Other Travel Issues
Q: What should a passenger do to avoid fainting or discomfort related to temperature?
Wear layered clothing, choose seating that minimizes exposure to cold air (like aisles or central sections), and keep active blood circulation through movement or light stretching.
The Science Behind Airplane Temperatures and Other Travel Issues
Q: Is that why they're making planes cold—out of sadism or for a stated safety reason?
It's not malicious; the cold cabin is primarily a safety and comfort choice to help passengers stay alert and reduce oxygen-related fainting risks, especially on crowded, long flights.
