Ok... well in that case I think I would hold at M .76 in the 738 at FL350.
However when I look it up in the Lido route manual, it says >FL340, holding speed normal condititons: M .83, which will be above Mmo..

I'm a true pilot, you can tell
Usually equate to somewhere along the lines of best endurance speed, which may be below the speed for minimum drag. They all seem to be fairly close to minimum clean speed, however I'm Unsure to what that would be or even equate to at FL350??
