High fliers as in the contrailers going over on the Atlantic tracks?

There's not a lot to hear nowadays as much of the routine is done by datalink, but you'll still catch some comms on Scottish 129.100 and London 132.860.  Also worth programming 123.450 as a background scan for any interplane chatter.

Airlines do have company channels but again they've mainly transitioned to satcom.  Regional airlines still tend to use airband AM though.
