Hi
I frequently fly between INV and Northern England/Midlands.
Whenever I file FPL's for this I seem to have more success planning levels up to 245 than I do higher, particularly Northbound. However there are days, more often than not, when we are very light and getting to 290 would be good. I sometimes ask and ATC are always very accomodating where they can be. Thanks
Question is I assume there is a good reason for not being able to plan higher? If so am I being a pain asking for higher and just stay where I'm cleared? Would be good to know for future info.
Thanks
