A good example of the prevailing wind effect is the scheuled times for SYD-JNB (13:50) vs JNB-SYD (11:45). This routing has a 2+ hour difference in the schedule of the same operator and aircraft type.

Similarly LAX-MEL is scheduled 1:15 longer in the westerly direction than MEL-LAX which enjoys a tail wind most of the way.
