Generally, yes. It usually takes a bit more time to go west across the Atlantic than to go east across it. Above about 30 degrees latitude, the winds are usually from the west to the east. Same with the jet stream. Yes, the jet stream can "double back" in a short loop, but most of the time the jet stream and the prevailing winds blow to the east. That makes a trip from Europe to America take a bit more time than the other way.
