I just flew on an Air Canada Embraer 175 jet from New York LaGuardia to Toronto. We took off, and climed to our cruising altitude of 30,000'. We were there MAYBE 10 minutes, when we started a slow, 45 minute glide down towards toronto. Why would we climb so high to spend such a short time there? The flight was very quick though, about 55 minutes.
