40,000' ? I thought airline routes and corridor in the US was up to 35K and from 40K to space it was military only
Anyway, I love the takeoff shots showing the field. And did you log your complaint of the dirty windows? :P

Ok, somebody is wrong then. The IFE map channel showed us at 40,000 feet throughout cruising. However, flightaware shows us topped out at 38,000 feet. That's kind of a big difference!
I was just happy to have an exit row seat, forget the cleanliness of the window.

I could be wrong too :tongue: so don't give me any credit yet!

Flights are definitely being routed at a high altitude today, due to storms. Planefinder shows right now that N661JB is at 38,400, American N891NN is at 40,000, as is Air Tran N174AT.

40,000 is routine for those airliners that can handle it.
Heck Manny, G5's are typically at FL450, and the Citation X has a serviceable ceiling of 51,000'!

Manny, credit permanently withdrawn.

Class A airspace extends up to FL600.
