Best Answer

Due to the winds that the aircraft hits flying west to east, in general winds travel east to west, so when a plane flys away from the uk it is heading against the wind. I fly to Florida a lot and always find the flight to take an hour less heading back to the uk.

In plne time of flight is not same in going and come back?

The time of a flight, especially internationally, may differ between initial and return flights because the aircraft is going in the opposite direction to the rotation of the Earth's axis in one, making it longer, and the same direction in the other, making it shorter. Note: Other factors such as wind and the type of aircraft may also play a part in flight time.
