People usually say that it is because the airplane is going against the rotation of the earth, but that is plain ignorance. The airplane flies through the air, which rotates together with the earth.
There actually are jet winds at certain heights that almost never change (direction or speed) and what makes the flight take longer or shorter is whether the plane flies against or with the jet winds.
