If you fly west from the prime meridian, you will gain hours, not lose them. This is because you are crossing time zones in a westerly direction, where time is typically later than the time at the prime meridian.
It's East. It is both east and west if you think about it; you can get to Australia from the prime meridian going in either direction. But the shortest trip will be east.
The longitude of every point on Earth, from the Prime Meridian out to halfway around the world in the westerly direction is labeled "west longitude". The longitude of every point on Earth from the Prime Meridian out to halfway around the world in the easterly direction is labeled "east longitude".
