36,000 feet
Some airlines fly over Greenland because it is faster that way.
One of the main reasons is to conserve fuel. Airplanes can fly at any altitude and speed. However, airplanes generally tend to fly at high altitude to conserve fuel. This makes the plane more efficient and keeps the operating cost down. Of course, an airplane can not always fly at max altitude at every flight. It may have too much weight or the distance it travels may be too short. So there is always a trade-off as to how they will fly the route.
Yes, airplanes cannot fly in the thermosphere due to the extremely low air density at that altitude. Satellites do not fly in the traditional sense but orbit within the thermosphere, taking advantage of the lack of air resistance.
Flights from London to NY pretty much go in a straight line Flights from London to LA fly way north (too far north) on their westbound path.
Airplanes fly in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from the Earth's surface up to an average altitude of about 11 kilometers (7 miles).

No
no i dont think so... i suppose they just fly over
A Boeing 737 Maximum Altitude ranges from 35,000 feet (-100 and -200 series) to 41,000 feet (-600, -700, -800, -900ER). Airplanes do not usually fly at their maximum capable altitude, they tend to fly a couple of thousand feet below that, low 30's.

No, from London Egypt and Greenland are in the opposite direction.
At cruising altitude most airplanes are at between 35,000 and 41,000 feet. However, to get there it has to pass all of the intervening feet between that and the altitude of the airport.
