Depends on the plane. Around 500.

Depending upon the type of Jet Plane, jets can fly anywhere from about 140 miles per hour and 2 thousand miles per hour. Jets routinely fly in the lower end of the speed range, taking off and landing below 140 miles per hour, and cruising at altitude between 400 and 550 miles per hour. Going faster than that means approaching or breaking through the sound barrier which is not done by the average commercial jet liners and transport (freight) jets.
Really fast speeds are accomplished by military jets used for fast attack and ultra high speed reconaissance from high altitudes.

type of Jet?
commercial jets such as the 737, 747, etc have cruising speeds around 400-500 mph.
a jet such as the SR-71 blackbird (which is no longer in service but still the fastest jet (the x-15, which some people claim is the fastest 'jet', was rocket powered)) was able to travel at just over 3 times the speed of sound or ~2432 mph.

Commercial jets nowadays fly at about 420 to 580 mph. But jet planes also include military planes - the SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest and can fly at over 2100 mph

Depending on the plane anything from 300 to 1500 mils per hour.

There's more than one kind of jet plane.

Do you mean Subsonic (ie commercial/cargo jet) or supersonic (fighter/some bombers/recon)?
