Why do planes fly east towards Australia?
That's interesting. Does the Jet Stream also affect planes flying in the opposite direction, towards America?
Yes, it does. Planes flying from Australia to America typically fly a more northerly route to take advantage of the tailwind from the Jet Stream. However, the Jet Stream is not as strong in that direction, so it doesn't have as big of an impact on travel time as it does for eastbound flights.
