@SmartBirb not so smart now huh?
Also, I'm not sure about winds out there, but it's possible that travel from Japan to NY is faster, even though the distance is greater.
@Tikibo
It's not about winds, but about Earth's rotation. Going from Tokyo to NY will take less time than going from NY to Tokyo. Same with Europe, but the other way around.
@Rugid yeah, winds created by coriolis force due to rotation. But rotation by itself doesn't influence planes. If opposite was true you would move by few kilometers after you jump.
