.......almost 1 hour difference flight time (well 45 minutes)....why?....what is the only other differences besides direction?

When Concorde was still flying, I think you would have found JFK to LHR flight time leg was less than the LHR to JFK flight time leg.

Please help me think more outside of the box if I'm missing something else - I will keep my thinking open and blinders off. Thanks

Jetstream. Not rotation of the Earth. The Earth's atmosphere (including airplanes flying thru the air) rotates with the Earth and therefore they are not affected by it.
