Usually Max Range and fuel consumption. If it is a short trip, the cruise altitude may be limited. Cruise altitude is determined by a number of factors, among which are winds, weather, length of flight, fuel economy, etc. Generally speaking, the higher a jet can fly, the more it will save in fuel. However, on shorter legs, an aircraft may not be able to reach the most economical operating altitude. Then, too, winds and weather can be major factors in selecting a lower than optimum cruise altitude.

What is the top cruising altitude for G5 Gulfstream?
The Gulfstream GV can climb directly to an altitude of 37,000 feet in eighteen minutes, then continue to 43,000 feet for a high speed cruise of 488 knots, or climb to 45,000 feet for a long-range cruise of 459 knots. The highest altitude that it is certified to fly at is 51,000 feet.
What is the air temp at cruising altitude of Boeing 777?
Depends on the cruise altitude, & the weather at the time. Typically around -40degrees Celsius, at FL 33,000 ft.
What is the slowest airplane?
The NASA Solar plane.It goes to cruise altitude in 6-9 hours
How many kilometres can a Boeing 747 glide without fuel?
The 747 has about a 17 to 1 glide ratio. If we figure a cruise altitude of 42,000 ft. (8 miles). Then a 747 in cruise could glide 136 miles. Assuming that the landing area is at sea level. Even if cruise alt is a bit lower, its reasonable to say a large commercial airliner at cruise altitude can glide somewhere around 100 miles.
How much do families cost on a cruise?
