Wind speeds of three hundred mph or greater are possible in winter. Fascinating stuff. Thanks. (Must wreak havoc with arrival times in London! I suppose pilots must get permission to ride a 300 mph jet stream? That could shave two hours off a flight BOS-LON.) It's standard to use the jetstream (a couple of minutes of bumps to get inside, if the pilot is good/lucky/got good met data) Transatlantic EW is several hours longer than WE for that reason.
