Because of the reduced air friction at higher altitudes, commercial jet airliners will usually fly as much as possible above 20,000 feet, up to a service ceiling around 40,000 feet.
In the US, airways (Flight Levels) are set up every 1000 feet by altitude above 20,000 feet, with the even 1000's for westbound flights and the odd 1000's for eastbound flights.
Eastbound flights will often utilize the "jet stream" that flows west-to-east across the central US, in order to reduce fuel consumption or increase their net ground velocity.

How high do long distance passenger jets fly?

What do planes and jets fly in?
They fly in air. High-performance military fighter jets have engines powerful enough that they can fly straight up, like a 'rocket ship'. But aside from those, all airplanes need air in order to remain aloft.
