- deskamess 9y agoTo me the hurricane tailwind (blowing South) appeared to be against the direction of flight (heading North)... but the flight arrived early so I must not be parsing that right.

- turbohedgehog 9y agothe upper level winds are actually a high pressure area and thus flow clockwise, giving it a northerly boost at that level
- rpeden 9y agoMost of the early return happened because the ground crew managed a really quick turnaround and so the flight departed Puerto Rico 25-30 mins early.
