Mach 0.785 is average, so you can do Mach 0.78 or 0.79.

I typically cruise at anywhere from 0.78-0.80 in the 737 series.

Anywhere between M.77 and M.81 shall be fine.
And also, since you are flying east please choose an odd altitude (FL350)

Alrighty! 35,000, C-HRIS!
Cruise at 35,000 or 37,000 at .78 or .79, usually what 737s do and what I do.
M. 78 for the 737 and A320 family for me
To add on to the other answers, Mach 0.78-0.79 is about 290-295 knots.
stumbled across this topic. Hope it helps for future references too.

Mainly depends on your cost index - if its high at around 200, you’ll probably be cruising near the limit at around .81. If its low, you might be all the way down at .77 or .76.
- Your altitude should be odd while flying east.
- Speed should be Mach 0.78
I think we have had enough answers, no need to repeat what’s said 🙃
