weird flying times

  • Any exaplantion for this:

    Flight from (CP) (Nov 12) YYZ-HNL Westbound took 7 hrs 40 mins.

    Flight from (CP) (Nov 12) from HNL-YYZ Eastbound took 9 hrs 40 mins.

    Doesn't make sense...any explanation??

  • So, what happens when you are south of the Equator? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif


  • I always think winds goes from west to east. From my experience, east bound flight is always faster than westbound flight.

  • Craig, as every school boy knows, the toilets south of the equator flush up instead of down. You should therefore always close the lid before pushing the lever/button.

  • Ok, everyone else already took the good answers.

    Flights receive routing instructions and for the most part are generally routed via the most direct path. On UA (channel 9) you can hear the pilots ask for direct routes to the different markers if they have been given a less direct route.

    Sometimes the route is changed to a less direct route due to weather or flow control. For example, I once was on a BWI-ORD flight that took 3.5 hours. The reason:severe weather in the normal flight path meant we took the southern route.


  • I think it has something to do with the definition of what the word "is' is.


  • Since the earth is turning to the east, a plane flying westbound gets there faster because the earth is turning underneath it. It's just like if you're on a train going 60 mph and you toss a ball up in the air, the ball will shoot out of your hand at 60 mph and crash into the wall before you know it. That's why you should always use the forward lavatories when flying east and the aft ones when flying west, and never flush when you're at an intersection of airways.

  • Are you sure you have the time difference correct? Honolulu does not participate in Daylight Savings Time so that the time difference is, for example, 2 hours from SF during the winter and 3 hours during the summer. When I did my original calculations for the PIP the flight times did not make sense since I was thinking 3 hours (usually fly to HNL in summer).


  • YYZ to HNL is downhill. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif





  • Nobody understands...any help please?
    50 points for someone willing to do this!!!!!!!!!!?
