flying times

[Maika]

does it take the same amount of flying time to fly from singapore to london heathrow and from london heathrow to singapore?

The actual time taken depends on various factors such as the weather, air traffic delays etc. However, airlines normally allow about an extra half hour for westbound flights as you are flying into the prevailing westerly winds.

usually it can be a little faster coming back as it is fron the states,as gef says a number of factors make it that way,but i expect mr know it all will dispute this later

[Maika]

i think that was very helpful guys thanks

It will take approximately an hour longer coming back.

To settle any arguments, there's a truly excellent site here.
It even works out connecting flights to smaller airports, so long as such flights are available!

I flew to Japan from UK once and it was 11 hours going out and 13 hours coming back.

It's actually a little longer on the way back as it is uphill!
