  1. Eastbound flights in the northern hemisphere are almost always faster than westbound flights due to the prevailing winds.
  2. Typically stronger headwinds in the afternoon than in the morning.
  3. Arrivals into busy areas suffer more delays than departures.
  4. Morning flights have less traffic to contend with in the New York area.
