I know in the USA there is odds east and evens west up to FL290, then it goes west FL310 east FL330 west FL350, etc...but what is it in different countries? I am just getting into international travel and I am down here in australia. Is FL340 acceptable? Also, is there still a speed restriction of 250kts under 10k? Thanks for any advice.
