Could be 2 things.
1. There are Atlantic air flows that can increase the air speed if you are travelling with them as opposed to against them.
2. On way you will be flying with the earths rotation (back?) and another the earth will be rotating towards you. Theoretically you could go up and stay in the same place and the earth would do all the moving. That would make for a longer flight though.
