I'm a moron.<BR/><BR/>It's Travelocity's fault for making me even look at this with their weird wrong time calculations.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079829842465164437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945613.post-12577340773254723082007-11-12T11:45:00.000-07:002007-11-12T11:45:00.000-07:00Or rather, you subtract it in one direction but ad...Or rather, you subtract it in one direction but add it in the other.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376389949707679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945613.post-69121326109578976222007-11-12T11:44:00.000-07:002007-11-12T11:44:00.000-07:00Tam, I think you may have adjusted the time the wr...Tam, I think you may have adjusted the time the wrong way on your trip back to Denver. You add an hour one direction but subtract it the other.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376389949707679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945613.post-30965802479137188142007-11-12T11:43:00.000-07:002007-11-12T11:43:00.000-07:00Let's see if I have this right.

Since the prevailing winds in the US generally blow west to east, you would expect that traveling east you should gain speed from the winds and traveling west, you would lose speed from the winds. So the flight from Denver to Nashville should take less time than the flight from Nashville to Denver.<BR/><BR/>You leave Denver at 10:25 Denver time and arrive at 1:53 Nashville time or 12:53 Denver time. This is a "real" time elapse of about 2.5 hours.<BR/><BR/>You leave Nashville at 2:33 Nashville time and arrive at 4:27 Denver time or 5:27 Nashville time. This is a "real" time elapse of about 3 hours.<BR/><BR/>So this makes your trip eastward half an hour faster than your trip westward, which is what you would predict from the fact that the wind blows west to east.<BR/><BR/>So I think it makes sense.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376389949707679077noreply@blogger.com
