      Re: why does it take less time on the flight back?

      It`s mainly due the the fact that invariably there is a strong tail wind on the return journey as most of the weather patterns flow West-East.
      This can significantly effect the flight times.

      No. When you think about it, a flight time is a flight time of a certain duration in hours and minutes irrespective of the time zones.

      I wouldn`t worry too much about it. It always used to confuse me on my early business trips when I kept on checking with our travel agent that he hadn`t got his times messed up!
