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 Airbus A380 cruise altitude?
35,000ft (A380-800, initial cruise altitude). The service ceiling (maximum altitude) of this aircraft is 43,000 ft.
What is cruise altitude for jets?
33000 feet
What is altitude for jet at cruise speed?
At cruise speed, commercial jets typically fly at altitudes ranging from 30,000 to 40,000 feet (about 9,000 to 12,000 meters). This altitude allows for optimal fuel efficiency, reduced air resistance, and avoidance of weather disturbances. The specific altitude can vary based on factors such as flight route, aircraft type, and air traffic control regulations.
How many MPH can Boeing 757 Jet fly?
At cruise altitude (35,000ft) the average cruise speed is 460 knots - 530mph.
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
What altitude did the concord fly?
The Concorde typically flew at an altitude of around 60,000 feet (approximately 18,300 meters) during its cruise phase. This high altitude allowed it to operate above most commercial air traffic and weather disturbances, contributing to its speed and efficiency. The aircraft's capability to cruise at such heights was a key factor in its supersonic performance.
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.
What is the average altatude of a jumbo jet?
The term Jumbo Jet has been generally applied to the Boeing 747.In my experience, they generally cruise at around 35,000ft to 38,000ft across the Atlantic.Different models, however, have a SERVICE CEILING* of over 40,000ft but that is not the same as a normal cruise altitude. Most commercial jetliners have a service ceiling of about 42,000 feet.*defined as the highest altitude at which an aircraft can maintain a rate of climb of 100 feet per minute.
What is the cruising altitude of Airbus?
Usually, all commercial jet aircraft cruise between 30000 and 40000 feet.
How much do families cost on a cruise?
The cost of a cruise for your family depends on a lot of factors. For example, where are you going, how long is the cruise, and how many people are in your family?
