But when I flew west from India to DC, and also when I flew from Frankfort to Detroit another time, going east to west was much worse.
Flights are longer flying west because the aircraft has to fly against the jetstream. That's why Lindburgh flew from New York to Paris in the 1920s, yet it took another decade before anyone managed to fly from Paris to New York.
