It depends on the type of plane that you are traveling on, what kind of flight plan you are filed under, how your aircraft is equiped and which directed you are flying (East or West).

For private, small jets, such as a Citation Jet - those cruise at about 28,000 feet all the way up to 35,000 feet. This is usually a smooth ride and this height can vary depending on flightpath direction, the winds, and where air traffic control wants you to fly.

For airliners, such as NWA, or UPS - those cruise at about 14,000 feet all the way up to 28,000 (or so). This ride has the potential to be a little bumpier, but saves on climb times, saving customers money while in an airplane. Once again this altitude is dependent on size of airplane, flightpath, wind, and air traffic control.

For general aviation, such as single prop, small multi-engine planes - this can vary a lot depending on size of aircraft, terrain you're flying in, airspace restrictions, if your aircraft is equiped with oxygen or not, and even flying during the day or night makes a difference.
