"Most longhaul flights get pretty close to or exceed FL40..."

I'm guessing by the context that FL40 means "Flight Level of 40k feet", but can you confirm for we unitiated?

Yes that is correct. The times I have flown internationally
the altitude was in the FL36 - FL41 range (Newark-Tel Aviv).

FL40 is 4,000 feet. Forty thousand is FL400.
