And don't forget that altitude is even going toward the west and odd going toward the east separated by 2,000 feet (if I remember correctly) and also flight numbers. Now what about north to south or vice versa?

Latvia

Believe separation is now reduced to 1000 ft in Europe.
Also there are ONLY East and West segments,000 degrees to 179 degrees,and 180 degrees to 359 degrees. Cannot remember which is odds,or evens however.Nit picking,but its Flight Levels(altimeter set to 1013) ,not altitude(above sea level,and set to RPS (regional pressure setting))

Oshkosh G,
Standard separation is 1000'. Above FL290, it is 2000'...unless you have RVSM [Reduced Vertical Separation Minina] when it's 1000'
hope this helps
