how do pilots cut time on flights?

it never really made sense to me how you could travel the same distance in less time if the airplane isn’t going any faster. how is the time reduced?

Air Traffic Control can also shorten the routing if there is no other air traffic nearby. For example a flight may be going to Waypoint A and then Waypoint B but ATC can give the direction “proceed direct to B” and knock off miles and time.
