Part of it is due to the jet stream, which is a high level moving part of air travelling eastwards across the Atlantic. High flying aircraft can take advantage of it to help speed up their journeys.
This is because of the Jet Stream (high-speed winds at high altitudes) that flow from west to east across the Atlantic.
These winds can help (flying west to east) - or hinder (east to west) - an aircraft by a difference of as much as 200 miles an hour or more.
On airlines that provide seat-back detailed flight info, you can see this effect by noting the 'Head Wind' or 'Tail Wind' data
Because of the direction of the wind. If you're flying against the wind, it's going to take longer than if you fly with the wind.
Europe to NY
It takes 7 hours from Philadelphia to London-Heathrow; the return flight is about one half hour longer.
Yes - a direct flight to Memphis from Amsterdam (Holland)
come on yaar stop asking silly questions you go to America. take a flight from there to Europe and check how much time does it take to reach. common sense!!
A flight from Hong Kong to Penang, Malaysia takes 3 hours 40 minutes. It will talk longer if you have a connecting flight. Some flights take 6 hours 20 minutes or longer.
It flight takes about 2 hours for a direct flight from Darwin to Alice Springs, longer for a non direct flight.
Since no city in Europe was given use the link to find the shortest flight time.
Due to the winds that the aircraft hits flying west to east, in general winds travel east to west, so when a plane flys away from the uk it is heading against the wind. I fly to Florida a lot and always find the flight to take an hour less heading back to the uk.
How long does a full flight from Sydney to Cairo Egypt take? Connecting via Europe or Asia approx 27 hours flight time. Best wishes & fly safe!
