Let's go for a cruise. What is the typical cruising altitude of a commercial aircraft?
Answer 31,000 to 38,000 feet
When in flight, you're soaring literally miles above the sky. A typical commercial flight flies between 5.9 and 7.2 miles above sea level – that's between 31,000 and 38,000 feet. This safe zone is arrived at within the first ten minutes of a flight.
