The Met Office used to include a flight level called MINTRA or minimum trail altitude. This was primarily for the use of bomber pilots. Flying just below MINTRA would ensure that your position was not given away by contrails. I'm sure such a product should still be available.

If your use is intended for professional purposes, the Met Office are usually happy to oblige, but there will be a charge. 08700 767 868
