Pacific Jet Stream?

Different flight plan, the curvation of the earth means the pilot is making a big arc back to Los Angeles

I'm not sure, but I think it's because of the wind. The wind blows in different directions in different areas, it also can blow harder in some areas. So I think when you fly on an airplane to Hong Kong that maybe flying higher up will get you there faster than coming back to Los Angeles.

If the route is the same, the shorter time coming back has to do with the curvature of the earth.

Time zone......

Depends on what you mean:
1. The aircraft travelled across the Atlantic over Europe on one flight and across the Pacific on the other way.
2. If it is just the timezones, you were flying backward to a later timezone and then came back towards the earlier one.

shouldnt be such a big difference, where did you get those humbers? but the winds could make it a quicker but not by that much.

the jet stream usually goes in an easternly direction, take when i went to lax from lhr , it took around 11 hours going and about 9.5 hours coming back.
i think a difference of 7 hours is strange though.
mabe you are allowed to take a beeter route one way .

not so big difference
