737 Cruise speed

#1

For a longer flight, I usually do M.74-.75 to optimize Low Fuel burn but in general, I typically do M.76-M.77 (clarification)

#2

The normal cruise speed for the 737 is 0.78 Mach :)

This was only used on early 737 models, such as the 737-100,-200 and -300.

Usually the 737-700 will use 0.78, the 737-800 and 900 use 0.79. 👍

Not sure about other models, but the 738 uses M0.77-0.79, 90% of the time it would be M0.78. M0.81 is MMO.

I usually cruise at M0.76 to M0.77
That’s usually at FL360 to FL400

Here’s some aircraft data you can check out.
