It always depends on the distance, weight, aircraft type, traffic conditions, etc.
A typical altitude for a modern jetliner is anywhere from 24,000 feet to 39,000 feet. The higher the better...for fuel economy. Turbine engines are more efficient the higher the airplane gets. It's always a trade off, though, of the fuel used to climb to altitude vs. the fuel saved.
