Tarom 398. High Cruising Altitude's.
Have noticed that Tarom flight's, in and out of Dublin, cruise at 39-41000ft. Is this down to light 'load's' or just, it's 'thinner' therefore, it's cheaper?

There is nothing unusual about commercial aircraft flying at high levele. Why shouldn't they? It is more economical to fly high.
PS In your posts "altitudes", "flights" and "levels" do not need apostrophes.

Why don't you tell him to add a comma between the thousands and lose the comma after the 'therefore' whilst you're giving your spelling/grammar lesson?
Nacelle, a jet will fly at optimum levels dependant on mainly three things being:
Operating weight
Prevailing winds
Air traffic congestion
Highest is not always best ie fuel efficient.
Now I look forward to my own grammar lecture....zzzz

Depends on how you look at it carbheatout. If one ignores poor spelling or grammar it will only become worse than it already is. Personally, I get miffed when I see hangar instead of hangar and will always bring it to the poster's attention. I have even seen the error several times in official NTSB documents!

Thank-you chaps for the constructive criticism with regard to my grammatical prowess, or, rather, lack of. I've never been one that was inebriated by the exuberance of his own verbosity.
Back to the post. Yes, RYR flights do tend to want to get seven and a half miles as soon as practically possible. These Tarom flights do seem to get up there on a regular basis too.

Forget my previous posts on this 'high-altitude' post. It came into Dublin tonight at only FL380. Must have been dangling the Dunlops the whole way..........
