Cruising heights UK vs Australia
In Feb we flew a 737-800 between Brisbane and Sydney. IIRC about a 1.40 flight - cruise at 43,000. Here (starting in UK) on similar legs on similar a/c we don't seem to top 24,000 - why's that?

All to do with level capping, flow management, what you're flight planned at etc. However you couldn't possibly have been at 43,000ft in a 737-800. Max service ceiling for the 800 is 41,000ft.
