Do jetstreams aid eastbound airplanes?
Yes. Airlines sometimes change their flight planned routes to take advantage of the jet stream when flying East, and avoid the jet stream when flying West.

Why do trans-Atlantic flightpaths sometimes change?
Changes in trans-atlantic flight paths are changed to take advantage of the Jet Stream generally heading East and to avoid it heading West. Sometimes it is changed to avoid WX patterns and turbulence!
How do an jet stream gain speed?
Jet streams gain speed due to the temperature and pressure differences in the atmosphere. As air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure, the Coriolis effect causes it to deflect, creating a fast-moving band of air called a jet stream. Additionally, the presence of the polar front jet stream at the boundary of cold polar air and warm tropical air can also contribute to high wind speeds.
The polar jet stream moves from?
east to west
High altitude wind that blows from west to east across the US the airline pilots often use when flying?
The high-altitude wind that blows from west to east across the US is known as the jet stream. Airline pilots often use the jet stream to save time and fuel by flying with the tailwinds it provides when traveling eastbound. Conversely, they may try to avoid the jet stream when flying westbound to minimize headwinds.
