    My flight two weeks ago had to make an emergency landing in Winnipeg (ew) as two people became seriously ill due to it being so hot on board.

    I wonder if flights are limiting a/c to save a buck?

      Good question, but no. The temperature at jet cruising altitude is -20 degrees, generally the planes get affected by cold (feel the windows) and they actually pump in warm air from the engines. Why it got too hot on board is a mystery, did you feel too hot? Maybe a thermostat malfunctioned?
