Usually when you fly from New York to San Francisco the flight takes longer in elapsed time than the trip from San Francisco to New York. Flying from east to west in the Northern Hemisphere usually means flying into the wind, while flying west to east gives a tail wind. Also, the trip flying west may seem shorter because of the three-hour difference between the two locations: 4:44 New York (Eastern) = 1:44 San Francisco (Pacific)
