Cabin Altitude Rankings

Updated Nov 5, 2026

Airliners pressurize their cabins to the height of a mountain town, not the sea. At cruise, most hold the cabin between 6,000 and 8,000 feet, about as high as Aspen. The thinner the air, the less oxygen reaches your blood, and the worse you sleep and feel after landing.¹

Newer planes keep the cabin lower. Below is nearly every aircraft type you are likely to fly, ranked by cabin altitude at each plane's top cruising height.
