A couple of weeks ago I flew from Manchester (UK) to Hong Kong, this took ~12.5 hours. Yesterday I flew back from Hong Kong to London, this took ~14.25 hours. Manchester and London are relatively close in this context, and if anything I would think London is slightly closer to Hong Kong. Looking at the flight map on the screen on the plane, the routes seemed broadly similar. Why did flying back take nearly two hours more?

Air currents
One flew with wind at the back pushing them faster, one flew with wind against them slowing them down.
