	Fly the required height (odd going east, even going west). For example, Denver to Atlanta to be FL310, 330, 350, etc. and Atlanta to Denver could be FL320, 340, 360, etc. Pick the one that works best for you and your weight. If you come close to another person (assume they don't have a TCAS system), let them know via ACARS or PM.
