And hows cruising at high altitudes conserving fuel ?
Aircraft cruise at high altitiude where the speed of sound is significantly higher, thus enabling higher ground speed to be reached than would be possible at lower altitudes.

This is not directly related to conserving fuel, however once in the cruise the throttles can be backed off as additional power is not required for the climb.
