Its a fact that when traveling at supersonic speeds time affects you less than it does when you are stationary or traveling at sub sonic speeds.
From what I remember the effect is so slight that 4hr flight might only move you 1 second into the future, so allthough the flight only took 4hrs to you it actually takes 4hrs 01second to everybody else.

Yep. Time dilation. Very interesting subject.
