Question

How cold does the cargo area on a plane get during flight?

Answer 1

generaly cargo area  and passenger area same in temperature and pressure.

Cargo area of a large jet is a controlled environment. The cargo area of a small regional jet or turboprop aircraft might not be a controlled environment.

Answer 2

It depends on whether or not it is heated.  On many aircraft, the pilots can divert exhaust heat from equipment cooling or other sources into the cargo holds, raising their temperature—they won't get as warm as the cabin, but they'll be reasonable (warm enough for most animals, for example).  If this is turned off, however, the cargo hold can drop well below freezing.

Answer 3

On passenger aircraft the cargo holds are the same temperature as the passenger cabin.

Answer 4

it gets cold. too cold for a person. a person could probably survive but it depends on teh length of the flight. however most planes have mulitple bins. and usually there will be a bin that can be heated for cargo or animal transport. the captain can turn on the heaters when notified. but as for the bins where the bags go... well, you don't want to spend a flight in there.
