  5. Karlene,

    Delta might have non-standard limitations, but FYI the Airbus limitations for max ceiling is 41450ft. This was changed about 2 years ago, to allow more flexibility on metric flight levels over China, which are different from the CIS (Russia) ones.

  6. Thank you Bjorn! I actually left the Delta limitations out and was using only Airbus. We do have other modifications. So thank you on that! I didn't know. But it's good to know.
