Re: Telegraph transcript. According to that the plane climbed 35000ft in 8 minutes, roughly 4300ft/min. A bit extreme?
My calculations say that it took about 5 mins to get to FL180, then about 15 mins to get to FL350?

Is 35,000ft a bit low for cruise on this flight? I noticed that on previous flights on this route, cruise was 37,000ft.
