They do fly with the winds when they are going the appropriate direction. Flights that go from West to East in the Northern Hemisphere tend to go faster than those that go East to West because of the jet stream pushes them along.
Launching or taking off into the wind helps them build lift at lower speeds, the air speed over the wings is higher, which reduces fuel use and requires shorter runway lengths.

Do airplanes fly over hurricanes?
Some airplanes fly through hurricanes to get wind speeds etc.
Can airplanes fly WITHOUT wind blowing at all?
yes
How long can glider airplanes fly for?
I think it depends on the wind. If there is not a lot of wind the glider won't fly for that long but if there is a lot of wind the glider will fly for longer. I think it depends on the wind.

Why do passenger airplanes often fly just above the troposphere?
The thinness of the air provides less wind resistance.
Why do cats not fly airplanes?
Because cats do not have the capability to fly airplanes.
Why does a person fly in airplanes?
Because people are not able to fly without a airplanes.
Do airplanes take off against the wind?
Yes, airplanes always fly into the wind. It decreases the length required to takeoff because the net airspeed over the wings is higher. Logistically though, sometimes airports won't swap directions for a wind speed that's relatively small.
Can you fly airplanes on Grand Theft Auto IV?
You are unable to fly airplanes, however you can fly helicopters.
Do paper airplanes act differently in wind?
Paper airplanes act differently when wind acurress. And it may be hard to fly. UNLESS it is flying in the way of the wind,which allows it to "flow on air."If you put a paper airplane in a mild, suttle wind way, it will go smoothly. But with rough, ragged windswill lead to a fatal crash of a piece of paper.
Can airplanes or satellites fly in the thermosphere?
airplanes can not but satellites can
Why do airplanes fly on the stratosphere?
Type your answer here... airplanes fly in the stratosphere to avoid weather problems
What makes paper airplanes fly?
Lift makes paper airplanes fly, just as it does real planes.magic
