What speeds do you guys fly for a typical 9 hour flight from EGLL-KDFW for instance as I want to make my flight as realistic as possible
Depends on what you’re flying. Boeing 777 will cruise around Mach .82 to .84, B747 can do Mach .85 usually, etc.
I go with whatever cruise speed Simbrief gives me - it depends on the aircraft.

It can vary throughout the flight depending on the windscape but if you just want to set a number and leave it:
717: 0.77
737s/A320s/A220/EJets/CRJs: 0.78
757/767: 0.80
A330s/A340s/Trijets: 0.82
777s: 0.84
A350/787s/747s: 0.85

Any rlly, like let say a B77W for example
Every aircraft’s cruising speed is Mach 1 if you’re brave enough
