damn FL 420!
I'm flying the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental and I can't get the plane up that lvl! Max FL370. Can someone help me with getting this baby up to FL420?

burn off some fuel first? for long flights like that they normally burn off fuel, then step up higher. but i believe that is above the max and normal cruising alt. if not the max the very edge.

The 474 have some issues... example the autopilot have allot of bugs and it cant keep a stable flight.. Yesterday i go up to example 36.000 and turn on the autopilot it was unable to keep the speed i select or hold the altitude..
I like to recommend the dreamliner or airbus instead.

It's dangerous up there.
Just saw an aircraft crash investigation video where the pilots pushed the Airplane to FL410 to be in the FL410er club..sure enough they had flame out and stalled the aircraft ....they payed with their lifes.

Those really high altitudes get scary.

Boeing was the biggest around decades before Airbus was a dirty thought

Also if you want a jet with a really low service ceiling/absolute ceiling etc look up the Su-25.
