Writing for USA Today in 2013, veteran pilot John Cox stated that a jetliner could probably be expected to glide for around 100 miles (161 kilometers) if all its engines failed 30,000 feet (9,144 meters) above ground level. That's about the distance between Los Angeles and Palm Springs or New York City and Atlantic City. In other words, not very far.
Watch this video of the Air Transat flight 236 that ran out of fuel over the Atlantic and glided into the Azores, incredible !

Meh, lot of factors determine the glide ratio, that’s just a generalization, done a lot of that type of training in the sim but I’d rather not press to test
